53i° at 3h. 15m. p.m. to 46° by Ah. p.m., and to 43° by 5h. p.m.) ; and 

 the direction of the wind immediately changed to the amount of 90°, follow- 

 ing the direction of the sun, or from S.S.Yv''. to W.N.W. 



At the Ptadclifie Observatory, Oxford, the barometer-reading at Gh. a.m. 

 was 29*18 in., and decreased to 28-80 in. at 2h. oOm. ; it then suddenly 

 increased to 28-85 in. at 2h. 35m., and to 29"25 in. by llh. p.m. At 2h. 

 the direction of the wind was S. ; at 3h. 30m. it was W., and continued W. 

 till 4h. 30m., and then returned to S.Y/. by 5h. The temperature at 2h. 

 was 51°, declined to 43° at 2h. 30m., and to 41° by 5h. 



The general changes of temperature agree very closely with those at 

 Greenwich ; but, as in the case of the barometer, those at Oxford pre- 

 ceded those at Greenwich by one hour nearly. 



The general fact frequently noticed of a change in the direction of the 

 wind simultaneously with a sudden and great pressure, and for the most 

 part in one direction (that is to say, in the direction of the sun's motion, 

 or N. to E. to S.), is very remarkable, and not easily accounted for.
