REPORT—1847. 
these features are more strikingly developed as ne proceed acros 
England to Kent, which presents us with the most synimelnal 
cun-e, that obtained from observations at Ramsgate, thelovestii 
the Plate; the smaller altitude of this curve, especially as compard 
with the north-western curves, is very striking. 
Plate II.—Pig. 1 . Exhibits the great symmetrical wave as it pa»edL(» 
don, and is projected on a scale suitable for exhibiting its eteen^ 
features. 
Fig. 2. Exhibits the wave as it passed Ramsgate: the scale, which iicot- 
traded in one direction and enlarged in another in order to a- 
hibit the minor inflections and to trace the variation of form 
proceed to the north-west, is the same as in PI. I.: the symmecr 
principally consists in the greater development of the antworni- 
ordinate waves, by which they are raised nearer on a level withth 
posterior; this obtains only at Ramsgate. 
Fig. 3. Exhibits the form of the wave as it passed St. Vigeon’s. Tlw 
curves, Ramsgate and St. Vigean’s, are placed in juxiapojicioB,B 
show more distinctly the points of similarity ami ditfereace 
ing on the line of greatest deviation from symmetry, which in tk 
present instance ranges more or less with the eastern coajt of Ei 
gland and Scotland. 
I’ig. 4. Exhibits gruphicnlly the diAercoces between the bternow 
(Western Isles) and Ramsgate curves. 
Pig. 5. Exhibits graphically the difi’erences betw'eeii the Newcastle sJ* 
Hcistone curves. 
Fig. 6. Exhibits graphically tlie differences between the Stornoway*®^ 
Helstone curves.

Jersey.

Galway. 
Fig. 10. Exhibits the opposite barometric movements at 
^d Geneva, arising from the slopes of the south-westeriy 
Nos. 1 and 3, which traversed Europe during the first eight dap 
ot November 1S42.
