The total of easterly winds observed for the year, as appears 

 from the above table, is 538. Total of westerly winds 1,152. 

 The proportion of westerly winds in 1,000 is 682; or more than 



The predominance of the westerly wind at the surface is, how- 

 ever, less striking than that of the upper current; the observations 

 of which result as follows: easterly 73J, westerly 1,170. The 

 proportion of westerly observations in 1,000 is 941; the prevailing 

 current being from the south-western quarter.

The total observations of easterly winds for the year 1836 are 

 692; total of westerly winds 1,010. The proportion of westerly 

 winds in 1,000 is 590. 



The total observations of upper westerly current are 1,163; do. 

 easterly 113. Proportion of upper westerly current in 1,000,911. 



The year 1836 has been remarkably cold, the mean temperature 

 being lower than in any other year since 1816. The year has
