Synopsis of a Meteorological Journal kept in the city of JN'ew- York, 

 during the years 1835 and 1836, reported to the Albany Institute 

 by William C. Redjield, corresponding member. 



The abstract of observations from my private journal now sub- 

 mitted to the Institute, is a continuation of those reported to the 

 honorable Regents of the University, on the 22d of January, 1835.* 

 The following tables exhibit the result of the observations on the 

 direction of the surface winds, and also of the more elevated or 

 main atmospheric current, as indicated by the highest observed 

 movement in the region of clouds.

On exammmg these results it will appear that the prevailing 

 wind or natural current of the atmosphere, is from the the south- 

 west quarter, as I have shown on a former occasion; and this re- 

 sult is rendered more obvious by the fact that our south-westerly 

 wmds are of a more equable and current-like character than the 

 gyratory and stormy wmds which generally blow from other quar- 



sity of the State of New-Yor
