METEOROLOGY OF CAPE PALMAS. 
The sea-breeze sets in about nine or ten a.m,, and 
declines towards sunset, when the close and insalubrious 
land-wind succeeds. 
According to Dr. McGill the amount of rain deduced 
from two years’ observations, 1840, 1841, is 80.76 
inches per annum, of which 28 to 30 inches fell either 
in May or June, which are the months of heaviest rain ; 
the winds are then variable, or southerly and easterly. 
The tornadoes, at the opening and conclusion of the 
rains, occur generally every five or six days.
