* The northeast quadrant includes NNE. to E., Inclusivo; the southeast, ESE. to S., inclusive ; the southwest, 

 SSW. to W., inclusive; the northwest, WNW. to N., inclusive. In the columns of figures, each one-tenth of a unit 

 represents one observation, and each unit ten observations extending through five years; the latter being equivalent 

 to one day's observations for five years. The time ratio for each quadrant is, therefore, represented by days and frac- ' 

 tions of a day.
