The author stated, that the paper consisted principally of communications made by members of this society, which had been placed in his hands. Many points in the statistics of the storm had been noticed with great accuracy; and it is important, in the present promising condition of our knowledge of the statistics and philosophy of this branch of meteorology, that such communications should be arranged and preserved, for the purpose of furnishing materials for its improvement. The author went on to explain the views of the nature of storms which had been successively propounded by Franklin, Espy, Redfield, and Reid. He then read various communications of observations, from Sir John Robison, Professor Christison, Mr Nichol, Mr Stevenson, Professor Wallace, Mr Hunter of Thurston, Mr Scott, Sir David Brewster, Mr Russell, Mr Bald, and other gentlemen, who had, with himself, taken an interest in the subject. The paper concluded with deductions of a general nature from the facts observed.
