The winds during our stay performed two or 
three revolutions of the compass, but they par- 
took chiefly of the character of sea and land- 
breezes: during the night and early part of the 
morning the wind was usually light from the 
northward, and at ten o’clock, gradually dying 
away, was succeeded by a wind from the sea, 
generally from S.W. or S.E. ; this sea-breeze 
occasionally blew fresh until four o’clock in the 
evening, when it would gradually diminish with 
the setting sun, to a light air. 
The barometrical column ranged between 29.75 
and 30.22 inches; a fall of the mercury pre- 
ceded a westerly wind, and a rise predicted it 
from the S.E. : when it stood at thirty inches, we 
had sea-breezes from south, with fine weather. 
The easterly winds were dry; westerly ones 
the reverse. Th^ moisture of the atmosphere, 
for want of a better hygrometer, was ascertained. 
* The above names! were obtained at a subsequent visit, on 
our return to England the following year.
