Tlie barometer is subject to veiy considerable oscillations, and 
sometimes in very short periods — the greatest oeciirring dui'ing 
storms from tlic W., S.W., and S.S.W. Tlie greatest range yet 
observed, amounting to 1'71.9 inches, took place in 1803; the 
maximum, SO'587, occurring in September, and tlie minimum, 
28’SG8, in December in tlie same year, during a violent storm from 
the- west. Tlie pressure, as influenced by the direction of wind, 
will be seen b}' the hillowing taTile of mean pve.ssures observed at 
Melbourne during winds from the vaiious points of the 
compass : —
