Dr Arnold’s Meteorological Observations at Port Jntoniq. 25^ 
lar to that of the south of France, and consequently very tolerable 
to every constitution. 
In the year 1815, a very remarkable circumstance was observed 
respecting the height of the thermometer. On the 18th October 
a dreadful hurricane visited all parts of the island, accompanied 
by two severe shocks of an earthquake. During the continuance 
of this alarming visitation the mercury scarcely varied a degree. 
At noon, on Wednesday, it was seen at 75°, and not until 
the afternoon of Friday did it alter, when it rose to 76°, whilst 
it may literally be said to have blown from every point in the 
compass, with increasing torrents of rain.
