Abstract
THE gales of October 16 and December 8 varied considerably. In the former gale there were constant oscillations, from.004 to.010 of an inch, every 30 seconds between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m.; whilst in the December gale there were no oscillations, but a constant fall that was most rapid during squalls. The difference between the dry and wet bulb thermometers in the October gale was only a quarter of a degree, whilst in that of December it exceeded from 2½° to 3½° (or a difference of from thirteen to eighteen times as great). During the gale in October, 1.160 inches of rain fell, and in that of December 0.758 of an inch.
