METEOROLOGICAL REPORT, 1871, BY THE 



A glance at the general table of wind will show how it has 

 been constructed. It exhibits the number of days the wind 

 blew from each quadrant, in each month of the year, at each of 

 a large number of stations ; and, for many of the stations, it gives 

 the average force with which it blew from each quadrant. The 

 quadrants are headed N. -J E. — E., E. \ S. — S., &c, to show 

 that all winds between N. and E., including E. but excluding 

 N., are reckoned in the first quadrant; all between E. and S., 

 including S. but excluding E., in the second quadrant; all be- 

 tween S. and W., including W. but excluding S., in the third 

 quadrant ; and all between W. and N., including N. but exclud- 

 ing W., in the fourth quadrant. The headings of the columns 

 indicate the mode of reckoning clearly, leaving nothing doubtful 

 or burdensome to the memory. 



The following are a few subsidiary tables, summarising, in a 

 separate form, a portion of the results embodied in the general 

 table.
