The influence of a neighboring area of high barometer upon 
the velocity of a storm’s progress is not very decided, neverthe- 
less the observations indicate that when the high barometer is 
on the east side of the storm, the velocity of the storm’s pro- 
ress is diminished eight per cent; and that the velocity is 
increased by about the same amount when a high barometer is 
situated on the south side of the storm. 
The effect of an area of 
high barometer upon the di- 
rection of a storm’s progress 
seems to be more decided, 
the course of the storm being 
£0 most northerly when the high 
barometer is on the northeast

path is deflected toward the 
center of high barometer. 
By referring to my former 
article (this Journal, vol. ix, p, 
2) it will be seen that on which- 
ever side of a storm center an
