between the ift and 2d of February, the wind yet con- 
tinuing N.E., from which quarter it had fet almoft all 
the time the froft lafted. It changed to the S.E. on the 
2d, and on the 3d got into the S.W. where it remained 
almoft all the reft of the month . 
The following table thews the quantity of rain that 
tell with each wind in each month and in the whole year. 
It appears, that the S.W. gave more than two-thirds of 
the rain of the whole year, which feems not to have been 
altogether owing to the wet quality of that wind, but in 
great meafure to the greater length of time it blew than 
any other. The numbers at the bottom of the table fliew 
the proportional wetnefs of each wind upon the whole. 
They are made from the numbers in the laft horizontal 
row but one of this table compared with the numbers in 
the laft horizontal row of tab. i. For the wetnefs of each 
wind is in proportion as the quantity of rain it gave in 
the whole year directly, and the number of days it blew 
inverfely. The former is fhewn by the numbers in the 
laft row but one of tab. vii.; and the latter by thole in 
the laft row of tab. i. It appears, that the South wind 
was the dried: of all, the S.W. the wetteft, and the W* 
the next wetteft.
