It is perhaps worthy of notice that depressions of the Barometer take place very frequently at or about (chiefly immediately before) the 
pbases of the Moon. As for instance on the night of the 10 th of July 1845 the moon entering her second quarter on the 12'». On the 24'» of 
the same month the moon entering her 4 th quarter on the 25 tk . On the 10 th of August the moon entering her 2 nd quarter on the ll lh . On 
the l st of September, new moon on the 2 nd . On the 23 rd of the same month, the day of the moon entering her 4 th quarter. On the 28'» 
of November, new moon on the 29 th . On the 2 nd of February 1846, the moon entering her 2 nd quarter that day. On the 18‘» of the same 
month, the moon entering her 4 th quarter on the 19 th . On ihe 28 th of March the day after the new moon. On the 10 th of April the day 
before full moon. On the 24 th of May the day before new moon. On the 15 th of June the day before the cömmencement of the moon’s 
4 th quarter. This has been much more remarkable in previous years. The very heavy Gale on the 8 th of March 1845 when the Barome- 
ter feil in 6 hours from 29.96 to 28.84, taking place exactly at the change of moon and several lesser gales attended by depression of the 
Barometrical Column as on the 14 th of May, 18'» of July and 10 th of August 1845 taking place, the l st and last at the beginning of the 2 nd 
quarter and the 2 nd on the day preceding the full moon.
