Over the Atlantic Ocean near the parallel of 30°, eeeapens 
the month of January the mean height of the baro 
about 30:1 inches. During the twenty days now he oe 
amination there were only four days in which the pressure in 
that region fell below 30°38 inches. Throughout these twenty 
aye | there was always an area of high pressure on the east, 
from 30°4 to 30°8 inches, and generally at a eee of about 
1,500 miles ; but on five days its Aguas was een 3,000 
miles. It is not known whether there was an area of hich 
ressure on the north, but we know that jens this period 
the pare nan ae at the north was extremely low. roughout 
this entire there was therefore a cause to produce a wind 
from four drat directions towards the center of this storm, 
and the foree was sufficient to set the air in motion over an 
immense area. The usual phenomena attendin areas of low 
barometer must therefore follow, viz: high wind 
barometer, and a precipitation of vapor. the present 
occasion these phenomena were exhibited in aad intensity, 
becau use the center of low pressure was directly over the Gulf
