' Mr. Templeman, to whom I am indebted for the foregoing observations, aecompames them with the following 

 description of his locality : — 



" The town is situated on the north side of the harbor, on the declivity of an eminence, the highest point of which 

 does not, I should imagine, exceed 250 feet above the level of the sea. At the back of this (north) there is a succession 

 of valleys and hills, the highest of which must, I should think, be 700 feet above the level. The south side of the 

 harbor is a high mountain ridge from 700 to 800 feet high ; the harbor is open to the sea E. S. E. and W. N. W., so 

 that (the land being high on both sides of the narrows) it is often difficult, except when it blows hard, to say precisely 

 how the wind is outside when between E. N. E. and S. S. W. We have nothing approaching to mountains in the imme- 

 diate vicinity, and the highest hill does not exceed 1000 feet, and that is 4 or 5 mUes from the town. It may, I think, 

 be laid down as a general rule that, except when the wind is very light and blowing between E. N. E. and S. S. W., it is 

 not subject to any local influence." .... " There are no extensive rivers in this part of the colony; that which 

 empties itself into the harbor is not more than 30 feet wide at the broadest part, and very shallow."
