Abstract
THESE charts have been compiled by Captains Evans and Hull, of the Hydrographic Departments of the Admiralty, from Maury's pilot charts, Fitzroy's and FergusEon's wind charts, charts issued by foreign Governments, and from the works of Dové, Neumayer, Buchan, and documents in the Hydrographic Office of the Admiralty. They show for the iour seasons the pressure, winds, and temperature over the parts of the globe covered by the sea. January, February, and March are properly grouped together into one season, these being the three coldest months as regards the oceans in the northern, and the three warmest in the southern hemisphere.
