Id. ; becoming slightly cirro-cumulous in some plac 



March 27* 10^. The pressure of the wind would have been est 



imated at upw 



ards of 7 lbs., in some cases ; the anemometer has not shew 



4 lbs. ; the index, is frequently tugged back 2 lbs. in strong gusts, 



and the gust is 



over before it can mark. This is evidently due to the apei 



ture in the vane being presented obliquely to the wind, which crc 



>ates a vacuum 



in the tube.
