TABLE showing the Monthly Distribution of 365+ Cyclonic Hurricanes which have occurred in the West Indies and in the Atlantic Ocean within 362 years, from 1493 to 1855.

This record shows that hurricanes have occurred in every month of the year, although they seem to be far more frequent from July to November, especially during August and September.

If we examine the distribution of hurricanes by centuries, according to my table, we come to the following conclusion:

It is to be observed that for the last half century my records show more cases of hurricanes than for any century previous, and that the 18th century offers also five times as many hurricanes as the 17th century, and so on. But it would not be prudent to deduce from this remark, that hurricanes have occurred with less frequency during the previous centuries than in the last; for as I have observed several times, in my investigations on the phenomena of hailstorms, lightning, and earthquakes in Cuba, we are for the most part in

* 1855, Aug. 26, Santo Domingo, Schomburgk. See London Athenæum, Nov. 3, 1855.-ED.

Although my Table comprises 400 hurricanes, yet there are 45 of which the month has not been ascertained.

See my Memoirs on Hailstorms in Cuba in the Annales de Chimie et de Phys., 3e. série, t. xliv.; on Lightning Storms in Cuba and the United States of America, in the Annuaire de la Société Météorologique de France, t. iii. p. 41; and the Chronological Table of Earthquakes which have occurred in Cuba from 1551 to 1855, in the Nouvelles Annales des Voyages, June, 1855.

want of meteorological data to establish any laws from the little materials which science possesses. It is only from the commencement of this century, and more especially from 1831, when Mr. Redfield drew the attention of philosophers and observers by his important discovery, that the phenomena of hurricanes have been more closely studied and observed.
