In several of these cases the depression of the barometer, 80 : 
ot great, and the storms do not 
results here found accord reasonably well with those before | 
found, except that the velocities while the storms were moving a 
easterly, are greater than the average of those shown in the 
table on page 9. d 
On comparing all these tables it is remarkable that but few 
cases have been found in which a storm-center has advanced 
the small number of stations, and because t j 
reported only once a day. The following tables show the @r 
rection and force of the wind in the case of five of the low area?
