The second series was made by Spasski for five years, from October, 1839, to September, 1844, inclusive, and published in his work on the climate of Moscow. The third series embraces also a period of neither the date of which nor the name of the observer is preserved. five years, Nijnii Novogorod, by A. S.

The first series, embracing a period of nine years, 1843 to 1851, inclusive, was originally recorded for sixteen points of the compass, but was reduced to eight points by Wesselowski, from whose work the series is transcribed, by distributing those for intermediate points equally between the two adjacent ones, i. e., by putting N.

By combining with the foregoing the observations for the year 1853, and nine months of 1857, and assuming that the proportion of calms for the former series, where no record of them is given by Wesselowski, from whose work the series is copied, was the same relatively as in the two latter years, of which we have the record, a second series of results for the seasons and year has been obtained. Riga, by Dr. Leters, for a period of seven years, from 1842 to 1848, inclusive.

The second series gives the results for the several hours of the day for the ten years last mentioned, and includes calms, which are omitted in the first series. The third series gives the results for the years 1830, 1831 and 1832, and from July, 1835, to June, 1837, inclusive, computed from hourly observations, and includes calms. The fourth series embraces the third together with the year 1857. To these are appended results for the years 1783 and 1818, and for 20 years of unknown date; also a table prepared by Mr. Wesselowski to show how the mean direction of the wind at 7 o'clock A.M., 2 P.M. and 9 P. M. differs from that for the entire 24 hours of the day in the different months of the year. Slobodsk, during the years 1857, 1865 and 1866, by Mr. Koroboff.
