found in my second paper, accord very well with those shown 
in table II on page 447 of the present paper. ‘These results then, 
when carefully examined, do not appear to be inconsistent with 
the results of the present article; but in order to test in a satis- 
factory manner the formule here given, the observations should 
be classified so as to show, not merely the velocity of the wind 
corresponding to a given gradient, but also the barometric 
pressure, the temperature of the air, the inclination of the wind 
to the isobars, and the distance of each station from the center 
of low pressure. It also seems undesirable to combine 1n a 
common average observations from stations which differ greatly 
in their local peculiarities. —
