INTRODUCTION.

TABLES of meteorological observations afford but little information
and give a very indefinite idea of the changes that have taken place
in the natural phenomena to which they relate, even to those who are
familiar with them ; they require some elucidation to bring the results
at once under the eye, and to the mind : in order to effect this object,
a series of illustrations have been constructed, which exhibit all the
results of the observations of the Exploring Expedition, at sea as well
as in port.

I have also deemed it expedient to add a few remarks under each
head of observations, pointing out some of the results deducible there-
from, as well as giving other information, derived from authentic
sources, likely to throw some light upon the climates and their
vicissitudes, in those parts of the globe visited by us.

On the diagrams, the barometrical observations have been reduced to
a uniform temperature (32° Fahr.), and to the level of the sea, and
corrected for instrumental errors, as well as brought to the standard
of the Royal Society, London, with which they were originally com-
pared ; in this respect only they differ from the tables. To each series
of observations a diagram is annexed.

It was my desire to give all the observations made by the Expedi-
tion during the period of our four years' absence from the United
States ; but I found it impossible to condense them in such a manner
as to exhibit the results without confusion. The Meteorological
Journal of the Vincennes has, therefore, been adopted throughout in the
body of this work, and the Journals kept on board the other vessels
of the squadron, on their separate cruises, have been added in the
Appendix. The results are thus made to extend over a large area.
To have given them separately, would have been but publishing

duplicates, and occupying three times the space they now fill in this
volume; and although it might have given a fuller idea of the duties
performed by the officers of the Expedition, yet it would have been
of no advantage commensurate with the expense that would have
been incurred.

The Meteorological Eegisters that were kept in connexion with the
Expedition at Cambridge, Mass., by Wm. Cranch Bond, Esq., Astro-
nomer, Harvard College, and at the naval depot, Washington City, by
Lieutenant J. M. Gillis ; with many others obtained through the kind-
ness of friends, that were kept at the various places visited by the Ex-
pedition, some made by authority, and others by individuals deeply
interested in this branch of science, have been incorporated on the
diagrams, thus enabling me to make a comparison with the daily
results of the Expedition at many places of great interest, particu-
larly those on our western or Pacific coast, and others on the eastern,
situated in nearly corresponding parallels of latitude.

The duty of keeping the Meteorological Journals on board ship was
assigned to the medical officers of the Expedition ; those kept at the
observatories were superintended by the officers who were from time
to time engaged in astronomical duties. In some places omissions
will be observed : these have occurred from the unavoidable absence
of the officers on other duties, or from accidents to instruments, which
could not for a time be replaced.

The meteorological instruments used by the Expedition were pro-
cured in 1836, from the best makers in England, France, and Ger-
many; others were prepared by Fisher, of Philadelphia, with great
care and accuracy. They were all compared with the standard, with
which they agreed. It was deemed essential at the beginning of the
cruise, to insure a uniform mode of observation by all the officers ;
the method of procedure was pointed out to all who were to be
engaged in the duty, and, it is confidently believed, was adhered to
throughout. Books of formulae were prepared for recording the obser-
vations.

The diagrams scarcely need explanation ; they are of two kinds :
those giving the results at the observatory stations will be familiar to
all; — the others, exhibiting the phenomena on the passages, are con-
structed on maps of Mercator's projection, showing the track of the
ships for each day ; lines drawn perpendicular, passing through the
figures on the track, will intersect the horizontal lines of temperature,
the scale of which will be found on the right or left hand column.

INTRODUCTION. vjj

The mean daily results of the barometer is given on a" suitable scale
above and below 30 inches.

The hours chosen for observation were those generally adopted, viz. :
3 A. M., 9 A. M., 3 P. M., and 9 p. M., according to civil time ; when it
was deemed desirable, more frequent observations were ordered. At
the observatories, hourly observations were made, and throughout the
voyage, hourly observations of the temperature of the air and water were
taken, both at sea and in port. A thermometer placed at the mast-
head was also observed at the hours above indicated ; it was sheltered
from accident by a small covering, which did not obstruct the free
passage of air : this served to check the results on deck, proceeding
either from reflection or the influence on the temperature arising from
a crowded ship.

The barometer for the use of the observatory was an ivory float
gauge, made by Troughton & Simms ; its diameter of tube was O35 in.,
and its error on the Royal Society's standard -007. This was considered
the standard : it continued in use throughout the voyage, and was in
perfect order at the return of the Expedition, having been used in the
final experiments at Washington. It was read off to thousandth parts.

We had several standard thermometers by Troughton & Simms,
Dolland, and Jones, of Charing Cross, both for air and water, graduated
on metal and ivory to half degrees, and easily read off to tenths; the
length of scale. 18 inches; also several self-registering spirit ther-
mometers, among them, those of Six. The hygrometers in use were
Pouillet (a capsule), Daniels, the silver cup, and the wetted bulb.

The Photometer and ^Etherioscope of Leslie were used.

The rain gauge was that of Dewitt, a cone of nine inches in height
by six at the base ; it was measured by a rod graduated to hundredths.
It was placed at the end of the spanker-boom, where it was free from
the drip of the sails or rigging. The quantity of water that fell was
measured immediately after rain.

The force of the wind was noted in the usual way by the different
observers. For the sake of space in the tables, the expressions have
been changed into numbers.

CAPE HENBY TO MADEIRA. — This passage occupied twenty-eight
days. The diagram (Plate I., page 18) elucidates the meteorological
data, by an inspection of which they will clearly appear; the tempera-
ture of the water due to the Gulf Stream will point out its width, and
the influence it exerts over the air. The movement of the barometer, as
well as that of the temperature, is satisfactorily exhibited in the gale of
the 26th and 27th of August, which was encountered on the outer edge

INTRODUCTION.

of the Gulf Stream. It will be seen we passed without the Gulf
Stream, in longitude about 60° west, yet we continued to be carried
onward by an easterly current, until we reached the longitude of
45° west. The temperature of the water during this passage between
the latitudes of 32° and 42° N. was generally higher than that of the
air; the difference in temperature of the ocean on the two sides was
nearly 7°, although we had decreased our latitude 4°, and this gra-
dually from the United States to Madeira. The mean temperature of
the water was 76'8°, and that of the air 75'1°, which will express the
standing of the thermometer in the Atlantic within these parallels
for the months of August and September.

The mean height of the barometer was 30-215, which is higher than
it ranged at any other time during the voyage. Easterly winds were
found to have a tendency to elevate the column, while those from
the western quarter depressed it. The mean degree of moisture on
this passage was '666.

MADEIRA. — Whilst at Madeira, the mean standing of the barometer
was 30-176 in.; mean temp, of the air 74-9°; water 73'6°. We found
the height of the vapour plain to be about 4,000 feet above the level
of the sea, which, according to our measurements, corresponds with
that of the height of the Roche d'Empeiia, observed to be the highest
point of cultivation. There is little doubt that the vapour plain must
have considerable influence upon the climate of Madeira as well as
its productions. In determining the altitudes of this island, an oppor-
tunity was afforded us of ascertaining the decrease of temperature as to
elevation : the result of simultaneous observations gave for the altitude
of Pico Ruivo (6,180 feet), 254-1 feet for each degree of temperature,
that of Roche d'Empena (4,100 feet), 384-2 feet, and that of Camancha
(2,000 feet), 333 feet. The observations were made between meri-
dian and 6 P. M.

The degree of moisture at Madeira was '599.

MADEIRA TO RIO JANEIRO. — This passage occupied a period of
fifty-nine days, including two days' delay at Porto Praya. Between
Madeira and Porto Praya (18° of latitude), the water and air increased
in temperature 9°, the former being generally two degrees warmer.
The trade winds were met with in the latitude of 27° north; previous
to which we experienced a strong breeze, whose limit included some
of the vessels of the squadron, carrying them rapidly onward, while
the others were left for several hours becalmed. These winds are
of most frequent occurrence at the outer verge of the trade winds,
and particularly on the eastern side of the Atlantic : though no doubt

INTRODUCTION. jx

often noticed by others, I have nowhere found them alluded to. The
direction from which the wind came, in the instance referred to, was
northeast, and so brisk as to carry the ship onward at the rate of
seven knots.

One of the phenomena met with on this passage was the red misty
haze so prevalent in this track. The state of the meteorological in-
struments under which it occurred was as follows, viz. : barometer
reduced to 32°, 3O020 inches ; temperature of the air, 78° ; tempe-
rature of the water, 82°; degree of moisture, '706. Wind from
the northeast to east-northeast, light and clear over head. During
the continuance of the mist a heavy shower occurred, which lasted
for an hour ; on its cessation, the dew-point was found at its former
standing, but the temperature of the air had fallen 3°. I was at first
inclined to believe this phenomenon was the result of the difference of
temperature between the air and water, but as I afterwards observed
the same haze when there was little or no difference noticed, though
the trials were repeatedly made, I cannot impute it to such a cause.
The most remarkable circumstance accompanying this mist or haze is
its red colour. That which occurred at Porto Praya had a great resem-
blance to the " dry fogs;" no particles of matter were observed floating
in the atmosphere to produce the red colour. During its continuance
the sky is clear, and cirrus clouds are often visible, but the horizon is
at all times ill-defined and much obscured; objects are quite indistinct
and apparently diminished in size, the effect of the red mist being en-
tirely the reverse of what takes place in fog. The cause of this pheno-
menon, it appears to me, is to be found in the intermingling of currents
of air of different temperatures in the higher atmosphere, producing
condensation, which descends, and passing through strata both warmer
and drier become again absorbed; hence no deposition takes place,
and whilst this condensation and absorption are going on, the pheno-
menon is seen. That this is the case I think is proved by the
state of the mast-head thermometer, it being invariably found to
be some two to five degrees lower than that on deck during the con-
tinuance of these mists. The red appearance I think may be accounted
for by the refraction and reflection of light : as the sun attains the
zenith the reddish tint becomes deeper, but is variable according to
,the angle in which the light falls ; in places it is of a lighter hue, and
frequently assumes a patched or mottled appearance. At nightfall
the same phenomenon takes place, but then there is a deposition
which assumes all the appearances of dew, but totally distinct as

x INTRODUCTION.

regards the requisites for the formation of dew, as laid down by Dr.
Wells. Dew, according to that gentleman, is caused by the following
circumstances : —

1st. A fall of temperature in the stratum of air in contact with the
soil.

2d. The soil must be previously heated, and the vapours rise,
so as to be encountered by a descending current, which brings the
vapours back to the earth without the air being saturated.

3d. After sunset, when the weather is calm and serene, the soil
radiates heat, and its temperature descends several degrees below
that of the contiguous stratum of air; and this causes the deposition
to take place.

4th. The fall of temperature always precedes the formation of
dew.

5th. Dew is deposited more copiously on bad than on good con-
ductors of heat.

According to our observations : —

1st. Dew is not accompanied or preceded by any fall of temperature
near the surface.

2d. The deposition even takes place before sunset, and very fre-
quently during a brisk breeze, the sky being clear, and stars visible.

3d. The temperature never descends or changes, and in all cases
has been found two or three degrees above the contiguous air.

4th. There is no fall of temperature in the stratum of air in contact
with the ocean.

5th. All substances, whether good or bad conductors of heat, are
equally covered with dew or the deposition.

It will thus be seen that the requisites for the formation of the
phenomenon of dew, according to Dr. Wells's theory, are totally
wanting in the production of the same phenomenon when it came
under our observation.

It is not my wish to controvert or deny the truth of Dr. Wells's
beautiful theory, so long received as the true solution of dew, but it is
plainly deducible from the facts stated, that dew is otherwise formed,
or that which we have witnessed is a totally distinct phenomenon, as
far as its formation goes, or that there are two distinct and nearly
opposite modes in nature of producing the same result. The theory
of the formation of dew by Dr. Hutton appears to me to account for
the phenomenon as witnessed by us, and to establish that the same
causes produce it as go to the formation of the mists before referred

INTRODUCTION. xj

to, with this difference, that the precipitation in its descent does not
become again absorbed.

The experiments I have occasionally been able to make on land,
relative to the formation of dew, have been but few during the voy-
age, but I feel satisfied that the same phenomenon occurs without a
change taking place in the temperature of the soil, particularly in low
latitudes, and that the deposition is attributable to causes operating
in the atmosphere above, as before indicated; and fully believe that
these depositions are far more beneficial to vegetation, and conse-
quently to the agriculturist, from the fact that the soil does not
undergo any change as to temperature that would serve to check
growth, at the same time that it enjoys the beneficial effects of the
moisture.

Between the latitudes of 5° and 9° 30' north, we experienced the
equatorial rains : the amount which fell in ten days was 6'15 inches,
its temperature 69° to 72°; the greatest fall in twenty-four hours,
1'95 inch. The variable or rainy zone, at the time we crossed it, ex-
tended from 4° to 12°, north latitude, which gives it a width of five
hundred miles. The maximum heat of air and water occurred in 8° 30'
north, and in 24° west longitude ; which corresponds very nearly to
the centre of the belt. We were detained within it twenty-three
days, during which time the mean standing of the barometer was
29-987 inches, and the mean temperature of the air 79-6°, and that
of the water 82-07°; the degree of moisture -734; the winds were
light and variable, generally from the northward and westward,
though inclining to calms; the movement of the upper stratum of
clouds was to the westward during our traverse across the zone.

On the equator, the oscillations of the barometer were found to cor-
respond to 3 A. M. and 3 p. M., 9 A. M. and 9 p. M. ; the variation was equal
to -1 of an inch ; this is the result of hourly observations for a period
of forty-eight hours ; the actual observations have been already pub-
lished, and will be found in Appendix XVI., Vol. I., of the Narrative.
The southeast trades were entered in 3° 50' north latitude: these
winds, at the season of the year we passed through them, were found
to increase as the sun was approaching the meridian, and to continue
until the afternoon, when they decreased until towards evening, after
which they again increased until towards daylight. The weather
from the latitude of 3° north is generally fine throughout the year.
A variation in the monsoons is experienced as the coast of Brazil
is approached : they blow from October to March from the northward

xji INTRODUCTION.

and eastward, and from April to September from the southward and
eastward. These winds appear to exercise much influence on the cli-
mate of Brazil.

EIO DE JANEIBO — Our observations at Rio were continued through
a period of forty-four days. The highest range of temperature we ex-
perienced was 93° Fahr., and the lowest 68° — the mean being 77-5°.
The mean barometer, reduced to 32° Fahr., 29-899 inches; the oscilla-
tion of the mercurial column was '710 in. The tropical hours were
for the minimum at 3 A. M. and 3 p. M. ; the maximum appears to have
been deferred until between the hours of 10 and 11 A. M. and P. M.
The degree of moisture '796. The mean temperature of sun's rays 83°,
the maximum being 117°, while the minimum was but 70°. The mean
annual temperature, as determined by the thermometer placed in a
well twelve feet below the surface, on the island of Enxados, was
75'98° Fahr. The mean annual temperature, as determined by J.
Gardner, Esq., which he obligingly furnished me, the day observa-
tions for nine years, was 77-01°; the highest range of the thermometer
was 93°, in the month of February, and the lowest 64°, in the months
of July and August. From these data Rio Janeiro does not appear
to possess a warm climate, yet it seems so to the feelings; the heat
during the morning hours, between the times of the land and the sea
breezes, is excessive. The range of the photometer while at Rio was
between 5° and 100°. The climate is a very equable one, as will
appear by the mean monthly temperature for six years, represented
on the diagram, Plate III., page 74.

The rains occur in every month in the year, and there is very little
difference in the number of rainy days ; the greatest quantity, how-
ever, appears to fall during the months of December, January, Feb-
ruary, and March. There has been no measurement of the annual
quantity of rain, that I am aware of. During the summer months
the rain usually falls in thunder-gusts, which arise in the southwest ;
these occur in the afternoon, between the hours of four and six, are
very violent, the rain falling in torrents. The wind at Rio generally
alternates between the land and sea breezes, which both tend to
diminish the heat of the climate. On the coast of Brazil, the tropical
or northeasterly monsoon blows during the summer months, viz., from
October to March, and the southeasterly monsoons during those of the
winter. These may be said to cause the vicissitudes of the climate.
During the latter season, gales of wind prevail from the south. We
cannot fail to remark, on inspecting the diagrams on Plate III., page 74,

INTRODUCTION.

the regularity with which the air and water have followed each other
in temperature, leading to the belief that the former is influenced by
the latter in the extensive estuary which forms the Bay of Rio, the lines
indicating the mean daily result being almost parallel to each other.

The sea-breeze tends very much to moderate the heat of the
climate. Its setting in during the time of our visit was extremely
irregular, sometimes not until 3 p. M., but it generally commences
between 9 and 10 o'clock in the morning, and its average duration is
from seven to eight hours; during the night a land-breeze relieves the
heat of the climate : the hottest part of the day is the interval between
these two winds. The fair days in the year are about two-thirds ; one-
sixth are cloudy, and a sixth rainy. During the summer months
little dew is said to fall, but in the winter it is reported as occasionally
very copious.

EIO JANEIRO TO BIO NEGRO. — The route pursued was about one
hundred miles from and parallel to the coast of South America. By
referring to the diagram on Plate IV., page 94, it will be seen that great
and sudden changes took place in the temperature of both air and water
between the latitudes of 36° and 40°, which was in the immediate
neighbourhood of the River La Plata, and whilst crossing its mouth.
This temperature may mark out the width of the mouth of this river,
but I am inclined to consider it as the effects of a cold current from
the south setting in on the coast : the breadth of this space in a line
parallel with the coast was three hundred miles. I have been unable
to ascertain the temperature of the waters of the La Plata during the
month of January, but believe it to be higher than the point to which
the temperature fell. The winds during our voyage were light, from
the southward and eastward, and the weather generally fine. The
thermometer had fallen 11° in these 18° of latitude, one-half a degree
for each degree of latitude. The mean barometric pressure had
decreased -115 in.

EIO NEQEO. — Our stay at the mouth of the Rio Negro (which is the
northern boundary of Patagonia, lies in latitude 41° south, and is the
most southern of the former Spanish settlements on the eastern side
of South America) was too short to obtain any series of observations
which would increase our knoAvledge of the climate ; but as the mete-
orology of this part of the world is extremely interesting, and but
little known, I deem it advisable to give some of the results obtained
during the time of our detention there.

The mean temperature of the air in the roads was 66'4° Fahr., that

4

xiv INTRODUCTION.

of the water 67'3°; the mean standing of the barometer 29-784 in.,
and the mean degree of moisture -798. The winds were variable,
generally light, from the east or seaward ; with these the barometer
rose, while those from the southwest depressed it. The range of the
photometer was from 20° to 93° during fine weather and a clear sky.
A thermometer placed three feet below the surface for several hours
showed 75-5°; another placed in the sand rose to 114°y and continued
so from 9 A. M. till noon ; one covered with wool, a foot above the soil,
stood at 90°, while an uncovered one similarly situated showed 82'3°.
During these trials the degree of moisture was '854, the wind moderate
from the northeast, and the sky quite clear. The temperature of a cave,
inclined about thirty-five degrees to the horizon, and twelve feet deep,
with south exposure, situated in a bluff of soft gray sandstone, having
a perfectly horizontal stratification, was 70° Fahr. : although this
affords but an approximate result for the mean temperature, yet it
indicates a very high mean annual temperature for the latitude.
That such is the case seems very probable from the accounts derived
from the most intelligent of the inhabitants at the Rio Negro on the
east, and San Carlos de Chiloe on the west, lying nearly in the same
latitude, and which are the most southern points where settlements
have been formed : at both places snow and ice are seldom seen ; they
experience no severe cold ; but frosts are frequent during the winter
months, from May to October, when gales of wind are experienced
from the southward and eastward.

The great peculiarity of the climate of Patagonia is its dryness.
The pampas are destitute of verdure, and unfitted for the abode of
civilized man, except in a few localities where the rivers which flow
from the interior enable cultivation to be carried on by irrigation.
The situation of the southern part of South America, which includes
Patagonia and New Chili, is peculiar, occupying a strip of continent
only three hundred miles in breadth, lying between the two great
oceans, the coasts of both sides trending nearly north and south, a lofty
range of the Andes extending throughout its entire length and covering
one-fifth of its width ; with the wide and barren pampas on the east,
and the narrow and luxuriant forests on the west, rising even to the
limits of eternal snow ; the former enjoying a clear and cloudless sky
and a dry and temperate atmosphere, while the latter is subject to vio-
lent gales of wind from the westward, accompanied by heavy rains,
producing a redundancy of moisture and almost constant cloudy
weather, yet with a like temperate climate. The cause of these

INTRODUCTION. xv

opposite effects is believed to be one and the same. The westerly
winds which prevail on the Pacific coast, after being deprived of
their moisture by condensation on the Andes, rush onward towards
the pampas to supply the partial vacuum produced by the heated
surface of the plains ; being destitute of moisture they absorb it from
the soil, rendering it dry and unproductive, and causing the exces-
sive evaporation that is experienced in the salt lakes of the interior,
which are said to form a crust of salt of considerable thickness on
their surface in twenty-four hours.

BIO NEGRO TO ORANGE HARBOUR. — The passage from Rio Negro to
Orange Harbour was made in the month of February. In the lati-
tude of 44° south the temperature of both air and water fell 11°,
which was in part owing to our having entered the cold currents
from the south : the waters along the coast are of a higher tempe-
rature, which may be owing to the prevalence of northerly currents,
or the influence of the tides. A farther depression of the barometer
took place, with an increase of the degree of moisture. The winds
and changes of the weather had become sudden, and everything
betokened, as we approached Cape Horn, that we had entered an
inclement and fickle climate. Refractions, and the phenomena of
halos, parhelias, &c., were frequently seen ; some of these have been
previously described in the Narrative of the voyage, Vol. I., page 112,
(4 to. edition.) The weather in the immediate neighbourhood of
Cape Horn we found delightful, with light easterly winds, which,
except at the periods of the equinoxes, are uncommon. The winds
from the time of our leaving the Rio Negro were from the southwest,
and at times blew in violent gales of short duration, accompanied
with sleet and snow, although it was midsummer.

ORANGE HARBOUR. — Orange Harbour is situated within the collection
of islands which form the southern point of the continent, and thirty
miles to the northward of Cape Horn, on the west side of the Bay
of Nassau, which is surrounded by undulating hills, six hundred to
one thousand feet in height, covered with a dark forest of birch,
beech, willow, &c. The mountains to the north are seen capped with
snow. Many of the high peaks are entirely destitute of vegetation,
exhibiting only a bold projecting outline of bare rocks. The soil is
found to be saturated with water, and covered with a growth of
mosses, even on the highest hills. The face of the country indi-
cates pretty accurately the nature of the climate. Our stay was
from the beginning of February till the latter part of April.

INTRODUCTION.

The great peculiarity of the climate is its moisture. It may truly
be said that there is not a day without some deposition in the form
of either fog, mist, rain, snow, or sleet. The diurnal oscillations of
the barometer were found to be -175; its extreme variation 1-420
in., its mean standing being 29 '545 in. At the time of the autumnal
equinox of the southern hemisphere, the oscillations of the barometric
column reached '638 above its mean standing. The climate is not a
cold one : the temperature during the latter part of our stay was pro-
bably not far from the mean annual temperature, viz., 46'7°, and
its mildness may be accounted for by the quantity of moisture which
exists : the mean degree of moisture we found to be '907. The daily
range of the thermometer is small, seldom more than 10°. The sun
exerts little influence, the sky even in the finest days being for the
most part overcast. The temperature shown by the thermometer
freely exposed to the sun gives a difference of 7° Fahr. The mean
temperature of the water was 48'7°. This would indicate a higher
mean than the air; but it must be recollected there are influences
existing beyond the limits of this locality, in the form of currents,
which may bring the warmer or colder waters within the bays of
Tierra del Fuego : such is probably the case. It will be seen by
the diagram on Plate V., page 126, that the water maintained a
higher temperature than the air, although it had a gradual decrease
of 9° Fahr. as the season advanced. The prevailing winds were
from the southwest : we had thirty-four days from that quarter, four
and a half from the northward and westward, four and a half from
the northward and eastward, and one and a half from the north.
Nothing can afford a stronger evidence of the nature of the cli-
mate, than the fact of six gales of wind having occurred within
the space of twenty days ; they were all of extreme violence, though
differing in duration, the shortest being but nine hours, whilst the
longest was more than twice that time. On Plate V. there is a small
diagram of the movement of the barometer during these gales, veri-
fying the remarkable fact before mentioned, that a rise of the column
is coincident with the beginning of a gale ; and it may be farther
remarked, that, so long as the mercury is descending, fine weather con-
tinues. The thermometer also seems in some measure to indicate the
coming gales by a sudden fall ; this, however, may be owing in part to
the change in the dew-point, which was observed to fall previous to
these occurrences, showing greater evaporation and consequent cold.

INTRODUCTION. xvii

A similarity of movement in the barometer and thermometer is satis-
factorily exhibited on the diagram of our observations at this place.

Rain fell during thirty consecutive days to the amount of 8'26 in. ;
this was the season in which there is least. The greatest fall in
twenty-four hours was 1'08 inches.

The opinion has been and is still entertained, that the temperature
of the southern hemisphere is much lower than that of the northern ;
if this opinion is founded on the standing of the thermometer, I have
little doubt that it will prove erroneous, and that the mean annual
temperature will be found higher in the southern than the northern
hemisphere, while the difference between the maximum and minimum
is probably much less. That the cold of winter cannot be so great is
evident from the habits of the natives of Tierra del Fuego, who use
little or no covering throughout the year. I may also adduce the
standing of a self-registering thermometer, that was left by Lieute-
nant Kendall, of H. M. S. Chanticleer, at Deception Island in 1829,
which when examined thirteen years afterwards was found to have
fallen only to — 5° Fahr., a much less degree of cold than it would
have shown on the parallel of 63° north latitude.

CHANGE HABBOUB TO VALPAEAiso This passage was made in

the months of April and May : it was a boisterous one, and occupied
twenty-three days. The extreme latitude we reached was 58° S. ;
the lowest temperature of the air was 37°; the water 4° warmer.
The .mercurial column continued to descend until we reached our
most southern point, then it as gradually rose without much varia-
tion, until we had attained the latitude of 43° south, and passed
through the stormy latitudes, which are comprised between the forty-
third and fifty-second parallels of latitude. Our distance from the
coast was about two hundred miles, and our cpurse parallel to it.
The winds we encountered were violent from the northwest to south-
west, which are the prevailing winds on the west coast of South Ame-
rica, before spoken of as being accompanied with much rain : we had
but little rain, though the mean degree of moisture was '881. The
parallels of latitude in which these violent winds from the southwest
and northwest constantly blow are well known, but their extent in
longitude is as yet undetermined; yet there is very little doubt that
they have their limits, and it is believed that they extend only a short
distance to the west in the great basin of the Pacific, as they are not
experienced to the westward of 90° west longitude, about five hundred
miles from the coast. How much their direction, velocity, and bois-

terous character are due to the influence of the neighbouring continent,
it is impossible to conjecture, but it appears very reasonable to suppose
that the peculiar formation of this part of South America, already
referred to, may exercise sufficient influence over the aerial currents
to cause the effects we experience in these latitudes. If condensa-
tion and rarefaction are continually going on over a large surface, we
see sufficient cause why these currents should not only prevail in the
directions indicated, but that they should continue to keep up the
same efforts to restore the equilibrium which is being constantly
destroyed, and the more rapid the action is on the one hand the more
violent it would be on the other. That these winds are the most
boisterous during the summer of the southern hemisphere, we believe
is generally admitted : such has been the result of our inquiries.

On arriving at the forty-second parallel, we were met by the
northerly monsoons of the coast of Chili, which continued without
cessation until we reached the latitude of 36° south, when we encoun-
tered a gale, during the continuance of which the barometric column
had a downward tendency, and did not begin to rise until the height
of the gale was over. Afterwards, we were favoured with the
southeast trades. This length (nine days' duration) of the northerly
monsoons at this early day (12th May) was unlocked for, but from
information I received, such storms frequently occur from April to
September.

After our arrival at Valparaiso, I found that light north winds had
prevailed there, with calms and fog, which latter is a common accom-
paniment. It has been remarked above that a large amount of rain
falls on the west coast of South America to the southward of the for-
tieth parallel, notwithstanding the atmosphere is not near the actual
point of saturation : the fact that the crops are gathered in a wet state,
and spread over the floors of the houses to be dried and cured, is con-
clusive that such is the case, and that the process of evaporation must
be extremely rapid. Captain King, during his stay at San Carlos in
1829, gives the standing of the barometer reduced to 32° : for Septem-
ber 30-061, October 29-979, November 29-898 ; the mean temperature
50-5°; the quantity of rain 10-79 in., and the degree of moisture -833,
and this was considered the fine season.

VALPAEAISO Our arrival at Valparaiso was in May, the last

autumnal month of the southern hemisphere. Our stay was limited
to a few weeks. Through the kindness of Mr. Robert Heath, of Val-
paraiso, we were allowed to take a copy of his meteorological observa-

INTRODUCTION. xjx

tions made at the Bolsa (Exchange), for the two years preceding our
arrival. The observations of Mr. Heath have been reduced to our
standard for temperature, &c. I was gratified to find that by a compa-
rison made with that of Mr. Pentland the year previous, Mr. Heath's
instrument showed the same deviation as with ours, when reduced
to the Royal Society's standard. I have given the results of Mr.
Heath's observations on Plate VI., page 138, where the tri-monthly
means are shown, and also the days of the month on which the
maximum and minimum occurred ; it will be seen that the extreme
annual range of the thermometer is from 50° to 86°, a difference of
36°; that the mercurial column has a higher range during the
winter and spring months than it has in the summer and autumn,
which seasons correspond with the north and south monsoon. It is
to be understood that these observations do not include the night hours,
and but eight hours of the twenty-four, viz., from 8 A. M. till 4 p. M.,
at which times and at noon the observations were made. It certainly
would have been desirable to obtain a series including the night
hours also; but these day observations nearly correspond to the
maximum and minimum hours, and, although imperfect, they may be
regarded as throwing some light upon the movements of the mercurial
columns at Valparaiso, until more perfect ones are made. According
to them, the mean annual temperature is 66-l° Fahr., and the mean
standing of the barometer 29-987 in.; greatest oscillation -570.

Chili occupies but a narrow strip of the western side of the vast con-
tinent of South America, extending through twenty degrees of latitude.
It has the lofty range of the Andes as its eastern boundary, and nu-
merous spurs of great elevation intersecting the country in many parts,
which, with the cold waters flowing along its shores, must materially
affect the climate in particular localities. The climate of Valparaiso
cannot be taken as any criterion by which to judge as to that of the
country ; indeed it may be remarked that what may be descriptive
of one section will not by any means accord with that of another ;
from its extreme southern to its northern point the climate differs very
materially. Throughout the whole length of the coast, a distance of
over one thousand miles, and this trending north and south, the
thermometer varies only a few degrees : the great and remarkable
variation is in the degree of moisture, for while the extreme south
has constant rains, the extreme north is totally destitute of moisture,
the country incapable of cultivation and quite a desert ; between the
two we have a constant gradation. The cause seems to be obvious :

XX INTRODUCTION.

where the ocean or westerly winds prevail, they deposit their moisture ;
these do not extend farther north than the Rio Maule, in latitude
35°, from which point the monsoons blow parallel with the coast;
during the southern summers they come from the south, while those
from the north prevail during the winter; with the former the
weather is clear and the sky generally cloudless, but the latter are
attended with rain, mist, and fogs. These monsoons are circum-
scribed within narrow limits.

The south one rs sometimes confounded Avith the southeast trades,
from which it differs very materially in its direction, and, as I before
remarked, half the year it is intermitted. The southern monsoon is
a dry wind, and its daily duration is generally confined to five or
six hours, from 11 A. M. till 4 p. M.; a calm then succeeds, and
towards morning, in this season, the land wind is felt with almost the
same certainty. The winter monsoon blows moderately from the
north and northwest, has a high degree of moisture, and at times
violent storms take place. Although the winds are the great agents
in producing the changes in this climate, there are other causes
which also exert their influence. As far as the temperature along
the coast is concerned, its small variation may readily be ascribed
to the south polar or Chili stream, which sweeps throughout its
whole extent. At Valparaiso, in the latitude of 33° south, we found
its water at 56° Fahr., and, from many observations I have had
access to, it varies little from this temperature throughout the year.
The monsoons are found to prevail as well in the interior as on the
coast, and have the same characters; and to their influence in like
manner it owes its variation of climate. During the summer months,
the sky is almost cloudless throughout the day, and especially so at
night, when it is calm and brilliant; no rain falls, and little dew. In
the valley of the Maypo, they cultivate by irrigation; and, were it
not for this, Chili would be an arid and barren waste. What seems
remarkable, the dryness of the climate is observable in the highest
ridges of the Andes, as well as in the valleys or plains. The lofty
ridges in the interior, for the greater part of the year, have a distinct
and well-defined outline, resulting from an absence of moisture ; and,
from a like cause, the character of the vegetation is thorny.

The rainy season throughout Chili, north of the Rio Maule, is in
June and July, when it rains in torrents. I have no account of the
quantity which falls ; it lasts at times for a fortnight, raining violently
and almost without cessation : the beds of rivers that were dry become

INTRODUCTION. XXJ

swollen, and the whole country is rendered impassable for a time.
These rains take place when the northerly monsoon returns charged
with the vapours from the tropics, which coming in contact with the
cooler atmosphere surrounding the highlands and mountains of Chili,
condensation takes place, and produces the violent rains during this
season. But, as this cannot take place on the northern coast and
its adjacent country, owing to the temperature not being low enough,
rain is rarely if ever experienced there.

The variations which took place at the time of our visit will be
seen on the diagram before referred to. Our observations show a
barometric oscillation of '530, which appears to be about the extreme
range throughout the year ; its mean standing we found to be 29'896
inches. The temperature of the air varied from 65° to 46°; mean
temperature 55'2°. That part of Chili still inhabited by the Arau-
canians in the south, is said to possess a mild and equable climate : it
is considered the most fertile, having an abundance of everything, and
enjoying a happy mean between the extremes to which the other
parts are subject. Sun's radiation, by means of twenty-eight observa-
tions, was 68'4°, shade 58'3°, difference 1O1° ; greatest difference in
sun 39°, the least 2°. During our stay, the weather was for the most
part overcast both night and day ; the observations were taken when
it was clear.

VALPARAISO TO CALLAo. — In our passage from Valparaiso to
Callao, at about one hundred and twenty miles from the coast, we
passed beyond the influence of the northerly monsoons into the
southwest wind, and then into the trades, in latitude 28° 30', which
is believed to be their southern limits at this season of the year.
On several successive days the wind veered even to the northeast
for a few hours; as we approached the coast of Peru, it became
more southerly and moderate. The temperature of the air increased
but 7° ; that of the water, only 5°. It will be observed, by an inspec-
tion of the diagram on Plate VII., page 158, that when we were the
farthest from the coast, the temperature of the water rose several
degrees, proving satisfactorily that we were without the limits of the
Chili current, and that on nearing the coast of Peru we again
entered it.

The mean height of the barometer had increased -087 in the 21° of
latitude. Although the sky was much overcast, we had no rain : the
degree of moisture was -949.

CALLAO. — It was the middle of the month of June when we

6

xxii INTRODUCTION.

arrived at Callao ; we remained there until the middle of July, part
of which time our observations were made at the Island of San
Lorenzo, which forms the western side of the bay. This was the
season of winter, the sun being to the north of the line, and the time
of the year when the heavy mist (garua) prevails, which almost
screens the heavens from view. This is variously accounted for.
Throughout the year the wind blows almost constantly from the
southward, although at diiferent seasons it varies very much as to
strength : during the spring and summer months, from November till
May, it blows moderately without intermission, whilst in the autumn
and winter it is, though generally stronger, often interrupted, when
light airs succeed from the north ; on their occurrence the " garua" is
immediately formed, and towards evening a heavy deposition takes
place, which leads to the conclusion, that the returning warm moist
current from the north encountering the cooler ones from the south
causes precipitation. The recurrence of these circumstances always
produces the same effect. Whilst the south winds prevail conti-
nuously, the whole coast of Peru enjoys a clear atmosphere and fine
weather. In winter the sun has seldom power enough until near mid-
day to dissipate these mists, which renders the climate during the
winter season damp and cold, prejudicial alike to comfort and health.
The mean annual temperature at Lima is placed by the best autho-
rities at from 60° to 85° Fahr. I am not aware that any recorded
observations of the barometer have been made throughout the year,
but the mean standing of the mercurial column during our stay was
29 '9 83, and its greatest oscillation '200 : the maximum and minimum
temperature was 56° to 82° Fahr. ; mean temperature during our stay,
63-3° ; mean water 59'8°, minimum 56°, maximum 63° ; solar radia-
tion 83-1° sun, air 73-6°, difference 9'7°; 35 observations. Photo-
meter 93° and 19° ; 8 observations: the degree of moisture -922.

From the observations made during our visit, we found the vapour
plain on this coast to be elevated above twelve hundred and twenty feet.
Below this point vegetation is confined to the winter months, unless
moisture is supplied by artificial means. Without the tropics, where
the vapour plain exists, it protects vegetation below it, but within, the
reverse seems to take place : in the first case, we ascend from luxu-
riant vegetation to barrenness; in the latter, from an arid, barren
waste to some of the most productive and fertile portions of the globe.
The low temperature of this part of Peru is to be ascribed more to the
influence of the temperature of the ocean, than its proximity to the

INTRODUCTION. xxjjj

Andes. The prevailing winds pass for a long distance over the sea,
and serve to modify the heat of a tropical climate.

The small diagram (on Plate VIII., page 188) of the mean daily
temperatures at Callao, will show their variations from each other
and from that of the water of the bay.

CALLAO TO TAHITI. — This route was sailed over during the
months of July and August, and between the parallels of 13° and 18°
south latitude. The temperature of the air and water changed and
the weather became fair when we had reached a distance of one
hundred and twenty miles from the coast; the former from 63° to
76°, and the latter from 66° to 78°, until we entered the Paumotu
Group. We carried the southeast trades until we were in latitude
17°, and had reached the longitude of 110° west, when they left us,
and the wind changed to the west, southwest, and northwest. This
interruption continued for several days, with an atmosphere loaded
with vapours, an overcast sky, and the barometer standing -100 higher :
the diagram (Plate VIII., page 188) will exhibit these variations.
The wind afterwards could not be termed the trade wind : though
mostly from the eastward, it frequently veered to the southwest, from
which quarter the upper stratum of clouds was passing rapidly : these
continued until our arrival off Clermont de Tonnerre, the most eastern
island of the Paumotu Group. From our observations, it appears that
the limits of the trade winds towards the central part of the Pacific, do
not extend the same distance from the equator that they do nearer
the coasts. It will be recollected that but a month previous to our
passing over this route, we had met with the southeast trades in the
latitude of 28° 30' south, near the coast of South America; now, at a
distance of two thousand miles from the coast, we had lost them in
latitude 18° south, and at the season of the year when they are sup-
posed to extend to their farthest southern limit, showing a difference
in the distance from the equator of 10° in latitude ; and it will be
hereafter seen that beyond the Society Islands it is contracted within
still narrower limits, while on the western side of this ocean they have
been found to extend to the latitude of 22° south : this gives their line
of limit a convex curve towards the equator. The degree of mois-
ture which we experienced varied from -701 to '984; mean '873.
Solar radiation, sun 95°, air 76'8°, difference 18'2° ; greatest diffe-
rence 41°, least 4°. The water throughout was about 4° warmer
than the air.

xxiv INTRODUCTION.

GBOTJP -- The Paumotu Group has two seasons, notwith-
standing its very uniform temperature throughout the year, which
may be divided into the stormy and fine : the former prevails from
November till March, when the sun is vertical, and the temperature
has its highest mean; the fine season is from April till October.
During the former, violent gales from the west and southwest occur,
though the winds blow generally from the northward and eastward,
rarely south of the east point, and are accompanied with much rain.
These gales, which are frequent, cause a great rise of the waters, which
often submerge msiny of the low islands ; on these, numerous evidences
are seen of the destructive effects from the abrasion at these times,
and I think sufficiently account for the dilapidation which is every-
where seen on the west side of the islands throughout the South
Pacific. There is no time afforded for the growth of vegetation, be-
tween these storms, and often from their violence the debris or soil
must be washed entirely away.

The southeast trades are prevalent in the fine season, with fair
weather for most of the time, though they are subject to severe
squalls, which last but a few hours. At the time we passed through
this group, we found no ocean current to exist. The mean standing
of the barometer was 29-964 inches; the mean temperature during
August 79° 33'; the degree -of moisture '877: the temperature in
January, 1841, when visited by the Porpoise, was 81 '4°. Although
the temperature was so high and without variation, the climate,
judging from the healthiness of the natives, and their apparent lon-
gevity, is salubrious. The power of the sun's rays, by 94 observa-
tions, was 96° sun, 8O8° shade, difference 15'2°; greatest difference
35°, least 1°. The thermometers were exposed on a rack con-
structed for the purpose, and as free from the influence of reflecting
surfaces as possible : the observations were made at corresponding
hours each day, and as much as possible under the same circum-
stances.

TAHITI. — This island was visited by us in the months of Septem-
ber and October, 1839, and February, 1841. The climate of Tahiti is
usually spoken of as delightful; but, according to the missionaries and
residents, it is found to be very debilitating. The variation of the
thermometer is between 60° and 85° Fahr. The mean temperature
during our stay, in September and October, was 76'4°, in February, 82°.
In the summer months (from November to March) the Tahitian Group
is subject to the winds from the northward and westward, which

INTRODUCTION. xxv

render the climate sultry and hot at that season. The climate may
be divided into wet and dry periods : the former includes the summer
months, the latter the winter. Although there is but little respite
from the heat, the difference of the mean being only 6°, yet the setting
in of the southeast trade winds brings fine weather, dissipates the
vapours, and clears the atmosphere, and for a time produces an exhila-
rating effect, both during the day and at night, from the prevalence of
a land-breeze which sets in soon after sunset, and causes the night to
be cool and pleasant. No one who has not experienced it can estimate
the pleasant sensation this wind produces, scented as it is with all the
perfumes of this " queen of the ocean." The variations of the thermo-
meter during our stay were only 7° for the air, and 2° for the water;
the mean of the barometer 30'083 inches, higher than it stood in the
Paumotu Group or at sea. The amount of rain which fell was 4 '2
inches : I was not able to procure any data for the annual quantity,
the missionaries who have laboured so long in this field never having
attended to any of these interesting results in meteorology. The heat
on the western side of the island is much more oppressive during the
day than on the east, but less so at night, from a longer continuance
and more certainty in the land-breeze coming down from the high
mountains. The southeast side has almost constant showers through-
out the year, particularly during the season of the trade winds. The
degree of moisture obtained from our observations on the north side
was '800 ; the result on the southeast side would probably have been
greater. Many plants succeed better on the southeast side of the
islands ; but from the habits of the natives, the north side being more
thickly settled, we might infer that the latter is the most agreeable
and salubrious. The vapour plain generally exists at two thousand
feet, and it is seldom that the mountains are clear of clouds above this
height. The solar radiation was 94'9° sun, 804° shade, difference
14'5° ; mean of 27 observations.

While we were making the transit from Callao to Tahiti, the Relief,
one of the squadron, was on her passage to the Hawaiian Islands from
the same port : a view of the oscillations made by her instruments
can be seen by comparing the diagram, Plate XXIV., Appendix,
with that of the Vincennes, on Plate VIII. The track of the Relief
was not parallel to that of the Vincennes, until she reached the same
latitude north of the equator, where it appears that both barometers
suffered a depression — that of the Relief the greatest; but although
the times were somewhat different, yet about the same meridians they

7

INTRODUCTION.

show very nearly the same, both giving satisfactory evidence that as
the centre of the great Pacific is reached a depression occurs ; and I
take this opportunity of calling attention to it, that from whatever
direction this ocean is crossed, a like depression will be shown, as
will be clearly pointed out by an inspection of the diagrams exhibiting
the results of our observations.

TAHITI TO THE SAMOAN GROUP. — After stopping a few days at
Eimeo, we passed to the northward and eastward of the Society
Group, and thence to the westward, on the parallel of 15° south lati-
tude. Even on this parallel the winds proved very light and variable
from the westward, and we did not obtain the winds from the south-
ward and eastward until we had reached the longitude of 160° west.
The length of our passage was fifteen days. The change in tempe-
rature was +3-53° in the air and +2'89° in the water; the radiation
of the sun, the thermometer similarly placed as in former experi-
ments, 98-1°, 81-3°, difference 16-8°, the greatest and least difference
being 29'5° and 6-5°; the decrease of the mercurial column when at
sea was -133. The wind from the west, as we found it to the east-
ward of the Paumotu Group, maintained a high column. The degree
of moisture '872.

SAMOAN GBOTIP — We remained fifteen days in the harbour of Pago
Pago, situated on the south side of the Island of Tutuilla, during
which period we had an almost constant succession of strong winds from
the southward and eastward, with light rain in showers. The harbour
of Pago Pago is surrounded by high hills, and the Peak of Matafoa
(the highest point of the island, 2,359 feet in altitude), which con-
densed the moisture. When the weather was clear, the vapour plain
was seen about 300 feet below the peak, extending on all sides over
the island. The difference of temperature on the top of Matafoa was
found, when compared with that on the level of the sea, to be 10°
less, which gave 230 feet in altitude for every degree of the thermo-
meter : the observations were made at 4 o'clock P. M. The mean
standing of the barometer at Tutuilla 30'033 inches; whole group
29-946, oscillation '400. The mean temperature during our stay was
80° Fahr. ; the range of the thermometer was 17°, from 74° to 91°.
A register kept at this island gave the annual mean as 76°.

The trade winds, which come from the southeast, blow about one-
half of the year, from April to September. In the months of January
and February they come from the northward and westward. The
proportion of clear weather to that which is cloudy and rainy, is about

INTRODUCTION. XXvii

equal. In fine weather, copious dews fall. The climate of Tutuillu
is much modified by the overhanging clouds, which shield the harbour
and its valleys from the powerful rays of the sun. The trade wind
sets in about ten o'clock and continues till sunset. The nights are
calm ; at times a faint land-breeze is felt.

The rain which fell in eleven days of our stay at Pago Pago
harbour amounted to 4-3 inches; the degree of moisture in clear
weather '871. The climate of the group is believed to be more moist
than that of the Society Islands, and warmer; it was thought the
season was earlier, many of the fruits being farther advanced, making
full allowance for the difference in time. This we believe may be
owing to the extensive area of ocean (equal to 3,600,000 square
miles) lying a few degrees of latitude to the north of this group, the
temperature of which is several degrees elevated above that of the sea
surrounding the Tahitian Group. The extent and situation of this
area will be seen on the map which faces the title-page.

The climate of this group may be classed as variable ; for one
situated within the tropics, it has a great deal of bad weather through-
out the year, and during the summer months is subjected almost
annually to violent hurricanes. In the winter, from April to No-
vember, the weather is more settled, the winds more moderate, and
calms often prevail. This group was visited by us in October, 1839,
and again in January and February, 1841, which enabled me to ob-
tain more accurate information of its climate ; this, however, has par-
ticular reference to the island of Upolu, the central one of the group,
and to the harbour of Apia, on its north side. The map of Upolu
(Hydrography, Vol. I.) will give a correct idea of its size and topo-
graphy. Apia is situated, with respect to the trade winds, on the lee,
or north side. The mean temperature during our first visit, October
and November, 1839, was, air 80'55°, water 82'91°; during the
second visit, in February, the air 79'94°, water 82-61°. The tempera-
ture on the south side of the island is a degree or two lower. The
variation of the temperature was from 72° to 98° ; that of the
water 6°; from 80° to 86°. From the register kept by the Rev. Mr.
Mills, the missionary at Apia, of which I was permitted to take a
copy, the mean temperature for the year 1838 was 79°. The mean
solar radiation, sun 103'6°, shade 92°, difference 11'6°; greatest
difference 26°, least 1'5°.

To the kindness of William C. Cunningham, Esq., H. B. M. Vice-
Consul of Apia, as well as Mr. Lundy, of Tutuilla, I am indebted for

xxviii INTRODUCTION.

information relative to a violent hurricane which passed over this
group on the 17th December, 1840, shortly before the arrival of the
Peacock on her second visit, in 1841. The following are the material
facts, viz. :

At Apia, on the 12th, light winds prevailed from the southeast, the
upper or cirrus stratum of clouds coming from the southwest. The
wind continued to increase until the 16th; at midnight it changed to
a heavy squall from the northeast. At 2 A. M., on the 17th, the wind
was violent from the southeast, with a copious fall of rain; at 2h. 30m.,
wind from south-southeast in heavy gusts ; at 8 A. M., a rapid shift to
southwest ; afterwards the gale gradually moderated, with the wind
from the same quarter.

At Tutuilla the storm began at daylight on the 17th, increasing till
noon. Wind east-northeast. Half an hour after noon there was a
lull of twenty minutes, and then the wind shifted suddenly round to
the southward and westward, and blew a heavy gale, which continued
till midnight : the morning of the 18th was clear.

At both places the gale was most violent just after the change,
when houses and trees were prostrated, and great destruction caused
to a considerable portion of both islands.

The islands of Upolu and Tutuilla lie west-northwest and east-
southeast. The eastern end of Upolu and the western end of Tutuilla
were the parts that suffered most severely. Over the town of Lione,
on the western end of the latter, the centre of the storm seems to
have passed ; it swept over it and one or two other villages in its
track, levelling all the buildings, tearing up the bread-fruit and cocoa-
nut trees, and prostrating a large area of forest trees. This gale,
estimating from the time of its sudden changes, was about four hours
in passing from Upolu to Tutuilla, a distance of sixty miles; conse-
quently its progress was about fifteen miles an hour, in a northwest
and southeast direction, having been carried onward by the northwest
monsoon, which prevailed at that season of the year. The gale was felt
at Savaii, the westernmost, and also, from the reports of the natives,
at Manua, the easternmost island of the group. They could give no
other facts. The length of the whole group is three hundred miles,
which would give the diameter of the storm about two hundred and
fifty miles. It is to be regretted that no good instruments were in the
possession of these intelligent gentlemen, but such as they had were
observed. A barometer in the possession of Mr. Williams, the Ame-
rican Consul, which usually stood at 28 inches, at Apia, fell as

INTRODUCTION. xxix

low as 24 inches; the thermometer at 6 A. M. of the 17th stood at
88°, being nearly 8° above the mean standing of the instrument at
that season of the year.

In 1849, December 26th, they experienced a severe storm, which
continued for two successive days : this storm was not so violent in
regard to the force of the wind, but the sea was very destructive,
rising high, and it is remarked that islets were raised on the reef on
the north side of Upolu several feet above high water mark : the
wind blew from the east, and came round to the north and northwest.
This gale appears to have been of great extent, for it was felt at
both the Society and Hervey Groups.

SAMOA GROUP TO SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES We had very fine

weather on this passage, until we passed outside of the southeast
trades, in latitude 22° south, when the wind changed to the northward
and westward, then to southwest, and finally to the northeast and
north, as we approached the coast of New South Wales.

After we reached the longitude of 175° east, and the latitude of
17° south, the temperature of air and water fell rapidly, equalling one
degree of temperature for each degree of latitude, till we reached the
parallel of 33° south, and 160° east longitude. The barometer in this
passage rose '159 ; temperature of the air fell 12-33°, and the water
13-75°; mean degree of moisture '833.

Sydney lies upon the same parallel of latitude with Valparaiso, yet
differs 10° in the mean annual temperature. The cause is obvious.
The ocean which bounds both coasts has also this same difference :
one is washed by a tropical current, while that of the other has a
polar stream flowing along its shores.

On other coasts where the same causes exist, like results are found :
the eastern coast of South America differs from the western to nearly
the same amount, and the same might be shown of others, did the
space allotted for these remarks permit. In comparing temperatures
on the same parallel in the northern and southern hemisphere, some
interesting results are obtained. The island of Raratonga, one of the
Hervey Group, latitude 21° 14' south, longitude 160° west, has a mean
annual temperature of 75-61°. The lowest temperature was 60°, in
July and August, the highest 89°, in December, January, and Feb-
ruary, differing 29°. Oahu, one of the Hawaiian Group, lies in lati-
tude 21° 18' north, longitude 158° west ; the mean annual temperature
75-8° : the highest degree of heat in June, for 12 years, has been 90° ;
lowest 53° in January; difference 37°. These are both high islands,

situated in mid ocean, and within the range of the trade winds of
both hemispheres, which blow at Oahu five-sixths of the year, while
at Raratonga they are constantly intermitted, and seldom continue half
the year : they exert less influence upon the climate in south than in
north latitude.

The average daily range of temperature at Oahu is 12°, whereas at
Raratonga it is but 5° ; the temperature of the water at the Hawaiian
Group is 81°, while that at the Hervey Group is 75° : thus we have
two islands nearly similarly situated in geographical position, which
we find to differ but 0'19° in their mean annual temperature, 7° in their
average daily range, and 8° in their greatest difference. I regret that
there has not been any barometric observations made at Raratonga,
with which to compare the pressure at Oahu. The above results were
obtained from observations taken during the years 1837 and '38, at
both places, and are confined to the day observations, viz., 6 A. M., noon,
and 6 P.M., at Raratonga, and 7 A.M., 2 P.M., and 10 P.M., at Oahu.

SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES. — Our stay at Sydney was from
the latter part of November till the end of December, 1839, and
the month of March, 1840. The weather, during the time of our
observations, was cloudy, with rain, the wind generally from the
eastward. The mean temperature for the month of December, 1839,
was 66'4°, the extreme fluctuation 27°, and the extreme daily varia-
tion 11°. The mean standing of the barometer is 29-940 inches, and
its oscillation 1-810 inch; by the records of the Colony, the mean
annual temperature is G5'70°. The seasons are considered but two,
summer and winter, the former from October to February, the latter
from May to September : at Sydney these are marked by the preva-
lence of the winds : during the former, the easterly winds blow, while
during the latter, they come from the southwest; in March and April,
as well as September and October, the winds are variable. The ther-
mometer seldom falls below 40°, or ranges above 78° during the
winter ; in summer its range is from 54° to 91° : these temperatures
only apply to the east coast and to the day hours; therefore, although
we have the greatest heat, yet it cannot be considered the lowest tem-
perature : ice is seldom seen at Sydney. More recent observations,
kept at the South Head, at Port Jackson, make the temperature a
little different ; but even these latter observations do not include the
most important minimum hour of the night, and are, therefore, still
only approximate. At Port Philip, on the south coast, the thermo-
meter in the winter descends to 35°, and rises to 65° : in summer its

INTRODUCTION. ,,,.,.:

•A.A.A.1

range is from 50° to 98°. The winds show a reversed order at these
two places : while it blows from the eastward on the east coast during
the summer season, it is blowing from southwest on the south const ;
and in the winter this is again reversed to south west at the former
place, while at the latter easterly winds are experienced ; the cause
of this state of things is to be looked for in the extensive arid wastes
which exist in the centre of New Holland, and will account for
some of the remarkable phenomena which take place in the climate ;
perhaps there is none more notable than the excessive droughts which
frequently prevail and continue for months ; in other years great
floods occur. In the Narrative, Vol. II., p. 168, 4to. edition, I have
spoken of the exploration of the country, and the peculiar condition
in which it was found by the exploring parties, and to which I would
refer for information upon the subject. The quantity of rain which
falls is very variable: in 1840, 35-25 inches fell; in 1841, 45 inches;
making a fourth more. The rainy season is in April and May : the
greatest quantity which has been known to fall in any one day, was
20-12 inches.

The degree of moisture, by our observations, was -748. I have
before remarked that there is a great difference in the climate of New
South Wales, and that every locality has in a measure its own. It is
difficult to account for the anomalies that occur in the seasons. The
rains that prevail on the eastern coast, are generally brought by the
west and southwest winds from the interior, as all the meteorological
registers, kept at Port Jackson and Macquarie, prove : these are land
winds; yet, at an opposite season, we find these same winds causing
the blight that is so much dreaded by the agriculturist, from the want
of moisture. In March, the barometer stood at 29-969 in., while the
temperature of the air and water had risen from 3° to 4° higher than
in December.

ANTAECTIC c B u i s E. — This cruise was made during the summer
season of the southern hemisphere. The diagram on Plate XI., p. 302,
gives the track of the Vincennes, the oscillation of the barometer,
and the variations of the thermometer, the mean daily depression of
the barometer, or the diminished pressure of the atmosphere within
and along the Antarctic continent : the mean pressure was deter-
mined to be 29-040 in., its extreme oscillation 1-160 in. The tempe-
rature of the air, with but few exceptions, followed that of the
water : these exceptions only took place when near large bodies of
ice, and which are readily distinguishable on an inspection of the
diagram. During a period of 42 days in midsummer, the tempe-

xxxii INTRODUCTION.

rature was but seldom found above the freezing point of water ; the
lowest temperature was 22°. From the low temperature of both
water and air, it will be perceived that when ice is once formed, it
can seldom be melted while it remains in these high latitudes : this
will account for the large masses which are almost constantly accu-
mulating from the depositions in the form of snow, sleet,, or fog.

The winds which prevailed were from the northwest and south-
west, until we had passed to the westward of the meridian of 160°
east, when we had a change from the eastward, with better weather.
The mean degree of moisture was '890. The photometer was ex-
posed for the 24 hours for several days : it fell to 19° for the night
hours, and rose to 93° in the day : from this it is evident that the
intensity of light in the southern hemisphere is not as great as it is
represented to be in the northern.

The mean solar radiation was 4 -7° ; the greatest difference between
the sun and shade 9°; least 1°. A thermometer placed on the black
hammock-cloth in the sun rose only to 3G°, that in the shade being
30°. This shows a remarkable difference in the power of the sun's
rays between the southern and northern hemispheres. Captain
Scoresby and other Arctic navigators state, that the temperature in
the sun frequently rose to that of melting pitch, while it was below
the freezing point in the shade.

It will be seen, on referring to our first cruise to the south, repre-
sented on Plate VI., page 138, in the longitude of Cape Horn, that the
same results were had : the barometric column decreased in altitude
as we reached the higher latitudes, and the thermometers in the air
followed that of the water, until masses of ice intervened. The degree
of moisture on that cruise was '935. From an examination of the
temperature of the southern hemisphere, I have become satisfied
that it is more equable than the northern ; of this we have had
many proofs, and the observations I have had access to fully cor-
roborate it: the fact of the thermometer having varied but a few
degrees during the summer months, the power of the sun's rays not
being so great, and the temperature not descending so low during
winter, together with a much higher mean annual temperature, and
a much less range, all tend to satisfy me that such is the case.

In the Narrative, I have mentioned several gales which occurred
during this southern cruise : the progress of only one I have been able
to trace satisfactorily, in consequence of the four vessels of the squadron
having been separated some distance from each other. I have refe-

INTRODUCTION. xxxiii

rence to the gale of the 28th and 29th January, 1840. The position
of the squadron was as follows, viz. :

Porpoise,

latitude 64° 46'

longitude 137° 16' east.

Vincennes,

" 65 45

" 140 "

Flying-Fish,

" 65 15

" 150 16 "

Peacock,

" 61 20

" 154 09 "

The Porpoise encountered the gale first ; it began with the wind
from the eastward, and veered during its continuance to the south-
west by the south ; its duration was eighteen hours." The Vincennes
next experienced it, the storm undergoing the same changes as those
of the Porpoise; duration eleven hours. The Flying-Fish we find to
have encountered it next, the storm coming from the northeast and
veering to the southward ; duration twelve hours. The Peacock was
the last to encounter it, the storm beginning from the northwest, and
veering by west to the southwest, the most violent part of it after its
change ; duration was twenty-four hours.

The distance of the Porpoise from the Vincennes was about 60
miles, which it passed over in 3 hours ; between the Vincennes and
Flying-Fish 260 miles, which it traversed in 13 hours; and the dis-
tance between the Vincennes and Peacock, about 400 miles, — this space
was passed over in 21 hours, which gives its rate of progress about 20
miles an hour, and its track from west-southwest to east-northeast.
The centre of the storm must have passed between the vessels ; the
Vincennes, Porpoise, and Flying-Fish being to the south, while the
Peacock was to the north : this is known by the wind having veered
in opposite directions during the changes that took place while it
continued.

SYDNEY TO NEW ZEALAND — This passage was made in 13 days, in
the month of March. By the diagram, Plate XII., page 330, it will
be perceived that our route was nearly on the parallel of Sydney, and
that the temperature of both air and water was several degrees higher
than it had been in a lower latitude in the month of November, illus-
trating the influence of tropical currents between New Holland and
New Zealand during the summer months. The winds, after leaving
the coast, were quite variable, seldom remaining over a few hours
stationary. As we approached New Zealand, they were more constant
from the southwest; the temperature of the air varied between 64'4°
and 71'6°, that of the water between 68° and'72'5°; the oscillations of
the barometer were '420 in.; the rise of the mercurial column taking
place with northerly winds, whilst it was depressed with southerly

ones. The degree of moisture -816. We had generally a cloudy and
overcast sky, with very moderate winds.

NEW ZEALAND. — The observations at Bay of Islands, New Zealand,
were during the months of February and March, 1840. The varia-
tions of the mean daily temperature are shown on the diagram, Plate
XII., page 330. The climate of New Zealand, although changeable, is
more equable than that of New Holland. The mean temperature was
61-3°, the maximum 73°, minimum 52°. The prevailing winds are
from the southeast and west; the former are attended with rain.
May and June are the rainy months. There is usually a difference
of 20° between the temperature of the day and night. The degree of
moisture '772. The mean standing of the barometer was found to be
30-004 inches, and the temperature of the water 66-37°. The climate
of New Zealand is thought to be better adapted to the European con-
stitution than that of New Holland. Droughts are never felt in any
excess. These islands are in the track of the severe hurricanes, which
occasionally pass over them, particularly the northern part near the
Bay of Islands. One of these occurred during our stay ; it happened
on the 29th of February and 1st of March, 1840. For the development
of this gale I am indebted to the inquiries of several gentlemen of the
Expedition, who were at the Bay of Islands when it occurred, and to
the kindness of the masters of the vessels who were caught in it. We
have five positions where observations were made, three to the north,
and two to the south of its track, viz. : at the Bay of Islands, on
board the Brigs Victoria and Camden, H. B. M. Ship Herald, lying
in the River Thames, and the Flying-Fish, one of our squadron;
their relative position will be better pointed out by their latitudes and
longitudes, which were as follows, viz. :

Camden, ... 31° S. 174° 07' E.

Victoria, 33° 30' S. 171° 50' E.

Bay of Islands, 35° 17' S. 174° 07' E.

H. B. M. Ship Herald, ... 36° 49' S. 174° 43' E.

Flying-Fish, 40° 30' S. 178° 30' E.

From these positions we ascertain that the storm had a diameter
of five hundred miles, from the latitude of 31° to 40° 30' south.
We also observe that its track was south-southwest, veering as it
progressed, to southwest, and that its velocity was equal to twenty
miles per hour. Its centre passed just to the southward of the Bay
of Islands, at which place there was a calm of ten minutes, when
the storm recommenced with equal violence from the opposite quarter ;

INTRODUCTION. XXXV

the trees that were prostrated at the Bay of Islands were found
lying with their tops to the northward. The gale came on with
the wind from the southward and eastward at all the stations, — this
was nearly at right angles to its actual line of movement : the veer-
ing of the gale was from left to right. It was one of the most de-
structive that had occurred at New Zealand, the water rising to a
great height, and overflowing a part of the island which had before
been thought beyond the reach of the sea. The lowest standing of
the barometer on board H. B. M. Ship Herald was 28-75 inches, when
the gale was most violent. The change of wind took place at 2 A. M.
of the 1st of March, and on board the Flying- Fish it was at its height
at 3 A. M. Throughout the gale the thermometer did not descend
below 66° Fahrenheit, the temperature of the surrounding sea.

On our passage to Tonga, one of the Friendly Islands, we did not
enter the trades until we reached the latitude of 24° 26' south, when
they blew from the east. The barometric column again decreased
•139 in., while the temperature of the air increased 13-3°, and the
water 9-7°.

Tongataboo comes under the class of low coral islands, but its cli-
mate is dissimilar ; it is more humid, and the heat more oppressive.
The daily transitions from heat to cold arc much complained of,
though we found but 8° difference in the temperature. The dews
are remarkably heavy, which may account for the feeling of cold at
night; they are said to render the climate unhealthful. The mean
temperature of the air, during our stay of ten days, in the month of
April, was 79-05°, that of the water 79-28°; the barometer stood at
29-808 in.; the degree of moisture '893.

Hurricanes are frequent in this group. The months from Novem-
ber to March are those in which they occur. According to the
accounts given me, these begin with the wind at northwest, go round
to the eastward, and end at the southeast. Sudden changes during
the height of the gale are experienced, and trees are prostrated with
their tops in all directions. It appears that the progress of these
storms is from the northeast to the southwest, corresponding to what
we found to be the case at New Zealand, and nearly at right angles
to that before described at the Samoan Islands. The courses of these
gales having been well ascertained, we must conclude that the paths
of these storms are deflected, somewhat like those of our own hemi-
sphere, only in a contrary direction, moving from the northwest to
the southeast in the lower latitudes, and thence passing to the higher
latitudes by a course towards the southwest. The same gale at the

xxxvi INTRODUCTION.

Friendly Islands is seldom felt at the north and south islands, but
the islands lying between the two rarely escape : this is another proof
of the direction in which these storms move, and the fact that we
have no accounts of the same gale having been felt before or after at
the Feejee Islands, lying west and northwest of the Group, would
seem to confirm the evidence that the directions across the Friendly
Group are from the northeast to the southwest.

FEEJEE ISLANDS. — We were but two days making the Feejee
Group, with the trade wind from nearly east, and an overcast sky.
The islands lie nearly west of the former, distant about 300 miles.
The position we occupied, was at the island of Ovolao, where we re-
mained for 48 days, during the months of May and June, the greater
part of which time the observations were made at the Observatory, on
the eastern side of the island. The island of Ovolau rises very pre-
cipitately to the height of 2060 feet. During our stay, the weather
was fine and the winds moderate and variable, prevailing from the
eastward for most of the time. The temperature of the air and water
varied, the former from 60° to 94°, and the latter from 78'3° to 81°,
the mean temperature of the air 77'81°, and the mean standing of the
barometer 29-997 inches ; the greatest oscillation of the barometric
column '4 20 in: the rise of the column is produced by southeast winds,
while it falls with those from the north and west. The weather is
generally clear, except when the southeast winds blow strong, when
the atmosphere becomes hazy. The height of the vapour plain was
found to be 1900 feet above the level of the sea. It will be perceived
that the range of the thermometer is greater than at Tonga. The
summer months, from October to March, are considered the worst
period of the year, when the northerly and westerly winds are expe-
rienced, and at times severe storms pass over the islands. The winter
months, from May till September, are considered the finest; then the
winds prevail more constantly from the southeast ; they blow at this
time much fresher. The climate has a general resemblance to that of
Tahiti, and the mean annual temperature very nearly corresponds.
At the Feejee Islands it has a greater range. During our stay in the
Group, stormy weather occurred but once, when the thermometer fell
to 70°, the wind from the southeast ; the barometer rose at this time
•145 in. above its mean standing. This eifect upon the barometer
excited my attention, as I had frequently observed it before, when in
the vicinity of high land, and on the side of it which is exposed to
the southeast trades. A sufficient cause for it may be found in the
obstruction the high islands may cause to the aerial current, thus

INTRODUCTION. xxxvii

creating a greater pressure of the atmosphere. I have before remarked
that the climate on the east and west sides of the large islands is dif-
ferent; a fact we had an opportunity of proving while engaged in this
Group. At the same hours we found the mean difference of the tem-
perature to be 2° less on the lee side than it was on the weather
side, but the greatest difference was 4'23°. This was doubtless
the effect of condensation taking place on the weather side, while
evaporation was going on rapidly on the lee side. The standing
of the barometer was also found to be '126 in. higher on the wea-
ther side. The diagrams on Plate XIII., page 402, exhibit the
mean daily variation of the thermometer and barometer, that at
Ovolau while we were stationary, and the other while we were
moving about from port to port of the northern large island. The
variation of the temperature may be attributed to the advance of the
season rather than to any change of locality. During our stay, the
lowest temperature shown was 68°, and this in mid-winter. Feb-
ruary and March are considered the most stormy months, when heavy
gales are frequent. Those that have been experienced, begin at the
northeast and shift round to the north and northwest, from which
latter quarter they blow with most violence, and clear off with the
wind from the west and southwest.

I endeavoured to trace the gale which happened at these islands
on the 22d and 23d February, in some connexion with those which
occurred at New Zealand, but without success. Strong winds pre-
vailed at Tonga, but they had no gale there. The same gale, how-
ever, was experienced off Erromango ; the time of its occurrence being
the 28th, 29th, and 1st March; the position was between 500 and 600
miles to the west-by-south of the Feejee Group. The wind was from
the southeast to south-southeast; this would lead to the belief that
the storm had passed to the northward and westward, travelling to
the westward.

The mean solar radiation at the Feejee Group was found to be, sun
97°, shade, 72°, difference, 25°; maximum, 110°, minimum 82°.

FEEJEE GROUP TO HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. — In this passage we made
a course about north-northeast, from 17° south to 21° north latitude,
traversing the central part of the Pacific, on a line 2500 miles in extent.
On Plate XIII., page 402, the track is shown, and the variations of the
instruments. The depression which took place in the barometer,
cannot fail to be remarked on inspecting this diagram ; and in order
to show that this was not only the case on one passage, I have given

10

XXXviii INTRODUCTION.

on the same plate a diagram of the Relief's track, the year before, and
refer to the Peacock's track and observations on Plate XXIIL, Ap-
pendix, the year after, which were nearly over the same course ; and,
the depression of their barometers being reduced to the same standard,
they very nearly correspond. The diagrams also point out the changes
that took place in the temperature of the air and water, and show that
they attain their maximum between 5° and 7° south latitude, in these
longitudes. It also will be seen that the thermometer indicates the
same temperature in the latitude of 21° north, that it has in 15° south
latitude. In passing through the belt of ocean comprised within the
10th degree of latitude on either side of the equator, we found the
mean degree of moisture to be -868, and the solar radiation 18°. We
lost the southeast trades in 7° south latitude; they afterwards conti-
nued variable, lasting but a few hours from any one direction. When
in latitude 3° south, we had a heavy fall of rain, 5'2 inches, the tem-
perature of which was 02°, air 70° ; the upper stratum of clouds, after
it ceased, was seen moving from the east-northeast.

The variable winds accompanied us until we reached the latitude
of 8° north, when we met the northeast trades. During this passage
of 43 days, the maximum temperature was 88°, minimum 73° ; the
greatest oscillation of the barometer -280 in.

The other vessels of the squadron made the passage at the same
time, and all their observations tend to confirm those of the Vincennes.

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS — Our observations at these islands continued
through a space of six months, from September to April, 1840—41.
The first two months of this time they were made on the Island of
Oahu, and the last three on Hawaii, the former on the leeward and the
latter on the windward side. These will be found projected in the dia-
grams, on Plate XIV., page 440. The mean temperature in the first
period at Honolulu (Oahu), was 78'01°, varying from 70° to 89°, and
during the last at Hilo (Hawaii), 70'09°, and varying from 57° to 82°.
The oscillations of the barometer are greater than in south latitude, and
more fluctuating, being '540 in. The mean standing of the barometer
was 29-973 in. The column generally rises with the northwest winds,
and is depressed by the northeast. The tropical hours for 47 days
(hourly observations) correspond to 3 h. 36 m. A. M., 9 h. 36 m. A. M., 3 h.
12 m. P.M., 9 h. 30 m. p. M. The mean annual temperature, by the ob-
servations kept for several years at Honolulu, is 75'8°, that of a sunken
thermometer, six and a half feet deep, gave 82'5°.* The diurnal vari-

thermometer gives, and the moan annual temperature for several years ; the thermometer

ation is about 12° Fahrenheit, and its extreme annual range 37°. The
solar radiation 21'4°. The climate of these islands varies according to
the elevation; in speaking of the climate, I allude to that part on the
coast, nearly on the sea level. The moisture depends upon the situation,
whether high or low, or on the leeward or windward sides of the island;
the leeward side is free from rain, while the windward side has an
almost constant succession of showers ; these continue during the preva-
lence of the northeast trade winds, which last for nine months of the
year, from March till December. In the winter months they are sub-
ject to calms, and occasionally to southwest gales; these do not appear
to partake of the whirlwind character, but are accompanied by a
deluge of rain.

The trade winds blow with great strength during a part of the day,
but the nights are calm and beautiful. In the summer months heavy
dews prevail, but they are not considered unhealthful. The inhabi-
tants generally prefer to reside on the leeward side of the islands.
The quantity of rain which falls annually is variable; at Honolulu,
in 1837, it was 21-1 in., and in 1838, 46-8 inches.

During our stay at the island of Hawaii, we ascended to the top of
Mauna Loa, 13,4-40 feet above the level of the sea, and 60 miles west
of Hilo. In order to give some idea of the position which we occupied,
and where the phenomena were observed, the following description of
the shape of the island of Hawaii seems necessary. It is of triangular
form, with its longest side to the west, and embraces about 3500 square
miles ; its whole surface is occupied by three mountains. Mauna Loa
is nearly in the centre, and is a huge flattened dome, rising from a
base 60 miles in diameter; Mauna Kea, 27 miles to the north, 14,000
feet elevation, and to the west; Mauna Hualalai, at a distance of 24
miles, 10,000 feet high. Between the three mountains lies a vast
plain, strewed with lava and ashes, which the mountains have vomited
forth. All the surface above an elevation of 6,000 feet, is destitute of
wood. The top of Mauna Loa has a crater one mile in diameter,
and 760 feet deep : our position was within 80 feet of the edge. The
simultaneous observations were continued through a period of 9 days ;
they are projected on the diagram, Plate XV., page 490. The oscilla-
tions of the barometric column, it will be seen, are nearly coincident,
but in the thermometers we find that the range is much greater at the
summit than below, and that even the maximum and minimum hours

was placed in a bottle of water, which was buried in black scoriae, and remained there
fifteen days.

do not correspond : while the one above passed through a range of
27°, the one below changed but 13°.

The observations made with a view of determining the height in
feet due to each degree of temperature during our stay at the summit
and at the station we occupied on the mountain side, are given in the
following table ; these results, it will be seen, vary in consequence of
the range of temperature being so much greater at the upper stations
than at the lower, which must affect them according to the hour in
which the observations are made. If the means are to be taken at
the maximum hours, the result will be too great, and if at the mini-
mum hours, too little, and it also appears that the localities have
their influence.

On Haleakala (Maui), at 10,143 feet elevation, observations made
at 2 P.M., gave 338 feet; at a station, Drayton's Cave, 8,600 feet high,
we get 318. feet at the same hour. The height due to a decrease of
one degree in the boiling point of water, at the above places was 537
to 550 feet. Mean solar radiation, sun, 110°, shade 82°, difference 28°.

The following table exhibits corresponding observations made with
the photometer and setherioscope of Leslie, from the 4th to the 9th
January, at the summit station.

INTRODUCTION.

On the mountain, it was frequently impossible to obtain the dew
point with either of the hygrometers of Daniel or Pouillet ; the eva-
poration was very small and slow ; the snow continued almost un-
changed, even in strong sunshine. The vapour plain, or the height
at which the clouds usually remained, was about 5000 feet above the
sea; the horizon above this was ill denned, the sea and sky being
blended together by a blue haze ; within the regions of clouds echoes
were rife. During the whole period of our stay, we saw nothing
of the blackness of the heavens which is spoken of by travellers;
on the contrary, it appeared to us of a beautiful blue. One of the
most sticking of the phenomena was the shadow of the mountain
thrown on the eastern sky, as an immense dome, of a light amethyst
tint on its outline, and gradually deepening to a dark purple towards
the centre.

When above the vapour plain, electricity was readily developed ;
at times the feeling was that of being insulated and charged from
an electrical machine; the gold-leaf electrometer showed but little
change, except on two occasions, when it appeared greatly excited.

The quantity of snow which fell while we were at the summit of
the mountain, was about 18 inches; at the recruiting station, altitude
9000 feet, there was rain. The wind, for the most of our stay, was
from the southwest, while it was blowing from the north and north-
east at Hilo. The greatest velocity of the clouds during the south-
west gales was found to be 47 miles an hour. All the gales which
we experienced (seven in number), occurred at night, being most vio-
lent between the hours of 11 p. M. and 4 A. M., and but one of these
was felt at Honolulu, while at Hilo they did not experience any gale.
The clouds were seldom seen above the height of 8000 feet, except
during the stormy weather. The temperature of the sea around the
islands is 79'5°.

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS TO COLUMBIA EivER. — Our route to and from
the Northwest Coast, is projected on diagram, Plate XVI., page 516.
Both passages were made in the usual track which sailing vessels are
compelled to take. Twenty-one days in April were occupied in the
first, and twelve days in November in the latter. After leaving the
Hawaiian Islands we lost the northeast trades in 24° north latitude ;
calms, with light variable winds succeeded until the 28th parallel of
latitude, when we had southeast and northeast winds, and finally as we
approached the coast, they came from west and northwest. The tem-
perature of the air and water continued to fall rapidly, equal to 1° for

xliv INTRODUCTION.

each degree of latitude ; as the water became colder than the air, we
were immersed in dark fog for several days. All navigators, in pass-
ing over this track, have experienced the same effect, occasioned no
doubt by the warm southeast wind, which usually blows fresh, coming
in contact with the cold water from the northwest. On our return
voyage, seven months afterwards, we had less fog, the water being of
nearly the same degree of temperature with the air. The trade winds
were entered in 23° north.

The range of the barometer was increased to -400 above 30 inches,
as we advanced to the north, and attained its maximum height in 45°
latitude. The degree of moisture varied during the passage from '880
to '820. On our route from San Francisco to the Sandwich Islands,
the barometric column again decreased in altitude, the temperature
increased in the same ratio as on our route to the coast. The degree
of moisture was '745.

NISQTTALLY, OBEGON. — It will be well to remark that the climate
of Oregon varies much in the different sections, and therefore it will
be necessary to speak of all. The middle section is the extent of table
land lying 1200 to 2000 feet above the western section, and separated
from it by the Cascade Range, which is covered with snow the greater
part of the year, while the Blue Mountains divide it from the eastern.
This section differs both from the eastern and western divisions in
being colder and having less moisture, and in its temperature passing
through a greater range.

The observations began at Nisqually, on the 12th May, and were
continued at the observatory until the 17th July. Nisqually is
situated at the head of Puget's Sound, the extreme southern limit of
the estuary leading south from the straits of Juan de Fuca. It lies in
latitude 47° 12' north, and longitude 122° 25' west, having the Coast
Range of mountains on the west, and Cascade Range on the east, the
latter always capped with snow. The diagram on Plate XVII., page
558, represents the mean daily movements of the meteorological instru-
ments during the above period. The variations of temperature were
great: from 37° to 92° in the shade, the mean temperature being 62'8°,
that of the water 53-09°; the mean solar radiation was C9'G3°; the
maximum in the sun was 112°, while in the shade it stood at 76° ;
this was on the 4th July. The oscillation of the barometer was -862,
and its mean standing reduced to 32°, 30-040 inches. The winds from
the southern quarter have a tendency to depress it, while it rises with
northerly ones. The winds are for the most part from the southward

and westward, and seldom from the east. The moisture at Nisquallv
represents that of western Oregon, it was found to be '835. The pho-
tometer at noon, the mean of several days' observations, stood at 77°,
and during the night 0.

The middle section of Oregon is much drier; the temperature has
tin annual range, of from 18° to 100° Fahr. ; the daily range is about
40°. The character of the vegetation is quite different from that of
the western, — it gives proof of both the excessive dryness and barren-
ness of the soil ; there are no dews, and rain seldom falls from May to
November, but during winter there is much rain and snow. Eastern
Oregon is still more remarkable for its fluctuations of temperature.
The Rev. Mr. Spalding favoured vis with a meteorological diary for
1837—40; these observations are given on the diagram, Plate XVIII.,
page 5G8. They were made at Lapwai, on the Kooskooski River, in
latitude 46° 27' north. Lapwai is about 2000 feet above the level of
the sea, but it is situated in the valley of the Kooskooski, which is
2000 feet below the general level of that part of the country. From
the various accounts I have received of this part of Oregon, I incline
to believe, that the observations here represent very nearly the ther-
mometi'ical changes of that section of the country. The mean monthly
temperature, as the diagram will show, is almost a regular curve for
the year ; but it alone would give a very imperfect idea of the cli-
mate ; I have therefore added the extremes of temperature which
take place during the month. The range of the thermometer, even in
July and August, varies from 24° to 108° ; the days on which the
great extremes occur are marked at the points of the lines, the scale
to which they refer being the inner one on the left hand column ;
there are few months in which the lowness of temperature would not
indicate frosts, yet these do not occur. The climate is regarded as a
moist one ; in winter there is much snow, and in summer much rain
falls ; the nights are always cool. The thermometer falls in January
to — 10°, but this is a rare occurrence. In July it reaches the highest
point, often rising to 107° or 108°, and in the sun standing at 144°.
The greatest monthly and daily range in the two years was 88° and
58°. According to Mr. Spalding, the grass remains green all the year,
yet irrigation is found necessary to cultivate the crops. Mean annual
temperature 53° Fahrenheit.

At Vancouver, Dr. M'Laughlin was kind enough to keep a meteoro-
logical diary during the stay of the Expedition ; this has afforded me
an opportunity of making the comparison between the western and

12

INTRODUCTION.

eastern coasts of America. The daily oscillations of the barometric
column, and variations of the thermometer, at Vancouver, with that
at Cambridge, Mass., are brought together on the same diagram, Plate
XVIII., page 568, by which it will be seen that the diurnal range at
Cambridge is much greater ; the means are nearly equal, Cambridge
being 67-07°, Vancouver 66° ; through the diagrams of Nisqually and
San Francisco the observations may be compared in like manner.

The greatest height to which the thermometer rose at Vancou-
ver during the mouths of June, July, and August, was 98°, and it
fell to 39°. The barometric column at Vancouver stands higher
than at Cambridge, though it is not subject to as great a range;
its mean standing was 30-203 in., that at Cambridge being 30-027
in., and greatest oscillation l-372 in. The situation of Vancouver
differs in many respects from that of Cambridge ; it is inland, while
Cambridge may be said to be on the sea-coast. Vancouver is in
the neighbourhood of high mountains capped with snow. One is as
yet surrounded by a virgin forest, while the other is entirely cleared
and cultivated. The winds, during the time of the comparison, were
from the ocean; the relative time of the observation during the day
was the same; the absolute time only differed as in the longitude of
the two places. If it be desirable to get the latter, by removing the
Vancouver projection one-third forward, they will be almost identical
as to time. The state of the weather during the time the compari-
sons were in progress was fine, no extraordinary changes having
taken place.

The winds in the western and middle section of Oregon, in the sum-
mer, prevail from the west and southwest; while, in the winter, they
blow from the southeast, to which latter circumstance the mildness of
the climate is to be imputed during that season. Little rain falls
from March to November, but from November till March rain is fre-
quent, though not heavy. Snow seldom falls in the western section :
when it does, it lasts but a short time. The nearer the coast, the
milder is the climate. The mean temperature at Astoria, as shown
by that of a bottle of water buried six feet deep, from September 6th
to October 1st, was 54° Fahrenheit : this I should think would very
nearly represent the mean annual temperature, — only 1° above the
eastern section, yet a totally distinct climate.

The westerly winds, in passing into the interior, lose their moisture
by condensation on the eastern range ; imbibe it in passing over the
middle section, and again it is condensed on the mountains of the

INTRODUCTION. x]vjj

eastern section. The extraordinary daily rise of temperature in the
middle section causes great rarefaction, and in consequence a rush of
the aerial currents towards it. At Wallawalla, during the summer
months, it blows a gale of wind almost every night, but the mornings
are calm and pleasant. Easterly winds are seldom felt in any part of
western America.

SAN FKANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. — Our stay at San Francisco was
during a part of August, and the months of September and October.
The diagram on Plate XIX., page 612, exhibits the mean daily re-
sults. The position of the Observatory was at Sausalito, on the
northwest side of the Bay of San Francisco; the Table Mountain
(2000 feet high), rose on the west and on the east the bay extended
several miles; we were thus, as it were, sheltered from the prevailing
winds. The mean standing of the barometer was 29-896 inches, its
greatest oscillation being '416 in. The mean thermometer 61-37°, its
maximum 91°, minimum 47° ; in the sun it rose to 112°, at the same
time in shade 86° ; the mean solar radiation was 9° difference with
shade; the degree of moisture -701. The winds at San Francisco
were constantly from the northwest to southwest, and for several
hours daily blew a strong gale. Bain occurs only in the winter months
from November till March ; but frequently none falls even then, and
droughts sometimes prevail for upwards of a year. Cultivation is
entirely dependent upon irrigation. With the observations at San
Francisco I have brought those made at Washington City during the
same period, into comparison ; they are shown on Plate XVI., page
516. These two places are more nearly on a parallel than Cambridge
and Vancouver, and the positions are reversed, San Francisco being
situated on the seaboard in the western, while Washington lies as
much in the interior on the eastern as Vancouver is on the western.
The mean daily results, when compared, are extremely interesting. In
this case the barometer, as before, stands lowest on the sea-coast : the
mean of that at Washington being 30-058 inches, while that at San
Francisco is but 29*896 inches. The oscillations are also dissimilar;
there is scarcely a day in which they are found to agree : the tempe-
ratures are also dissimilar, except a few days about the autumnal
equinox. The mean temperature for the period at Washington was
61-1°; maximum, 88-5°; minimum, 33°. The difference between San
Francisco and Washington is 27° for the mean; 3° for the maximum,
and 14° for the minimum higher at the former. The highest tempe-
rature at Washington was on the 30th August, while that at San

xlviii INTRODUCTION.

Francisco did not occur until the 20th October. The solar radiation
17-7°; greatest difference 32°, least 2-5°.

The temperature of San Francisco is lower than in the interior of
California. In the valley of the Sacramento the thermometer often
rises to 114° in the shade; the valley is confined between two moun-
tain ranges, that bordering the coast, and the California!! mountains,
from 6000 to 9000 feet in height. The prevailing Avinds pass over
the valley nearly at right angles to it, on their course towards the
interior of the country, to fill the partial vacuum caused by the rare-
fied air over the vast arid and barren waste which occupies the centre
of California; their moisture being condensed on the mountain ranges,
they have none to impart to give fertility to the soil.

PEACOCK'S CRUISE TO KINGSMILL GROUP. — Plate XXIII., Ap-
pendix, exhibits three diagrams, — one showing the track of the Pea-
cock from Oahu across the equator, to the Samoan Islands, in 15°
south latitude, a distance of 2000 miles, thence to the Kingsmill
Group, and from the latter passing out of the tropics to the latitude
of 35° north, on her return to Oahu. On the other two is projected
the variations of temperature of the air and water, and the oscillation
of the barometer. It is almost needless to call attention to the re-
markable results exhibited by the latter, showing the depressions of
the barometer while within the basin of the Pacific, and how imme-
diately the pressure increases after passing beyond the parallel of the
tropics. The Peacock during this cruise passed within the area of
the ocean having the highest temperature on the surface of the globe,
which lies just to the north of the Samoan Islands. The climate of
the Kingsmill Group is divided into two seasons. During the stormy
season, from October till April, the northwest winds prevail ; but they
are occasionally visited by heavy southwest gales, which last several
days and resemble typhoons; they veer round to the north-by-west.
From April till September they have an uninterrupted succession of
fair weather, clear skies, with the wind constantly from the eastward.
During the month of April the mean temperature was 82-9°; maxi-
mum 86°, minimum 78°, mean solar radiation 18%6°, maximum sun
132°, minimum 98°.

The climate as respects temperature is an equable one, and although
the temperature is high, it is not found to be oppressive, owing pro-
bably to the prevalence of breezes. The mean standing of the baro-
meter was 29-867 in., its oscillation -230. The rains are violent in
the stormy season, but in the fair, they have but occasional showers.

INTRODUCTION.
HAWAIIAN ISLANDS, TO MANILLA AND SINGAPOEE. The diagram

on Plate XX., page 670, exhibits the meteorological phenomena on this
passage; it occupied us 82 days, including a stay of 10 days at Ma-
nilla, in the island of Luzon, and four days at Sooung, and the Mangsee
Islands, in the Sooloo Sea. It will be perceived that on entering
within the tropics, the barometer underwent the depression which has
been before spoken of, and that it continued throughout the voyage
between the above places, except as we approached, and while to the
windward of, the high land which bounds the entrance to the China
Sea.

The temperature of the air during our passage to Singapore, varied
from 75° to 80°, and that of the water, 76° to 82°. After passing the
Marian or Ladrone Islands, we lost the easterly trade winds, and
encountered variable winds till within five hundred miles of the Bashee
Islands, when we entered the northeast monsoon, at the entrance of
the China Sea. The period of our stay at Manilla was too short for
our observations to give us any reliable results. We found the mean
temperature of the air in January, 77-54°, maximum 83°, minimum
70°; that of the water 80*18°; and the mean standing of the barome-
ter 29-938 inches, its oscillation '140. I was in hopes I should have
been enabled to throw some light upon the climate of Manilla, having
obtained while there a meteorological register, kept by a Dominican
friar; but on examination it has proved so totally unworthy of confi-
dence, that I cannot venture to give it a place ; as an instance, I would
cite that it gives the oscillation of the barometer, during a single
month, equal to 2'100 in., its highest range being recorded as 30-460
in., and the lowest 28-360 in. Were this but a single instance, I
might impute it to an erroneous entry ; but these are frequent, and
stated in the remarks as to the results of the month : this so far exceeds
any observations in the tropics hitherto recorded, that I cannot but
view the tables as a tissue of mistakes. The variations for temperature
also seem too great to entitle them to credit, the highest being 98°,
the lowest 69°, and this in the first spring month. Yet it seems
scarcely possible that any one should wish to falsify a record kept for
his own amusement ; charity would suggest that some of his assistants
were ignorant. The seasons, as in most tropical countries, are to be
divided into the wet and dry, which correspond with the periods of the
monsoons : the former with that of the northwest. The rains begin in
May, and cannot be said to cease till the middle or end of October.
The dry season comprises the remainder of the year.

1 INTRODUCTION.

Manilla is situated within the range of the typhoons ; it is at times
subject to those disastrous hurricanes. They seldom if ever approach
nearer to the equator than 9° of latitude in the China Sea; they are
expected in the months of June and July. Their duration is seldom
over six or seven hours, but in that time they make terrible havoc ;
they come on from the eastward, and veer to the southward and
southwest; when it clears, the monsoon resumes its usual character.

There has been no record kept of the amount of rain at Manilla :
as far as I could ascertain, the fall is supposed to be very great.

Our route, after leaving Manilla, was through the Sooloo Sea, stop-
ping at the island of Mindanao, the most southern of the Philippines,
and afterwards at that of Sooloo. In this sea the monsoons do not pre-
vail with the same regularity as in the China Sea. The high islands
on the west and east serve to divert them from their usual directions.
The climate, like that of the Philippines, is divided into a wet and
dry season, the former from May till September, the latter from Octo-
ber to April. During June and July strong gales prevail from the
westward. In August and September the winds are from the south,
and at times blow in hard gales ; and during December and January
they are subject to gales from the north : the rest of the year the winds
are light and variable, from the southwest during the wet, and the
northeast in the dry season ; frequent calms also take place. The
barometer during our passage ranged at 29-950 in. At the island of
Sooloo we remained four days: the mean standing of the barometer was
29-856 in., that of the thermometer in the air 79-1°, water 79-3°. In
the Sooloo Sea we found the solar radiation, the mean of 23 observa-
tions, sun 104-7°, shade 81-7°, difference 23° ; greatest difference 40°,
least 7°. The maximum temperature at the island of Sooloo through-
out the year, is 87°, and the minimum 75°.

From the Sooloo Sea to Singapore, we crossed the China Sea
obliquely, favoured with the northeast monsoon, in seven days. The
weather was remarkably fine, and the breeze moderate : unlike the
trade winds, it does not appear to have its periods of increase and
decrease, and is more equable throughout the day and night. This
would point to a different cause from that which is generally
thought to be required to produce the effects witnessed. I regret
that my space here will not permit me to enter more fully into this
subject ; but I shall endeavour to do so in another department of the
Expedition.

INTRODUCTION. } j

The stay of the squadron at Singapore was from the 19th January
till the 26th February. The barometer ranged 29-979 in., the max-
imum temperature 87°, minimum 74°. The climate is very equable,
seldom varying more than a few degrees throughout the year, from
79° to 84° ; this includes the hours between 0 A.M. and 6 P.M., the
mean being 8O18°. Showers occur almost daily, which refresh and
cool the air ; the wind blows moderately, generally through the straits
from the eastward, being little influenced by the monsoons. Neither
the typhoons of the China Sea nor the hurricanes of the Indian Ocean
are felt here ; they frequently, however, are notified that these destruc-
tive phenomena are taking place, not only from the rise of the waters,
but the rolling in of heavy swells. According to reliable information,
rain falls one-half of the year; the greatest quantity in December and
January, and the least in April and May. During the former period,
the northeast monsoon is at its height, and in the latter, it changes
from the northeast to southwest. The greatest daily range of the
thermometer is 10°. During February, the degree of moisture was
•879. I have already stated that the climate of Singapore is thought
a remarkably healthful one, and ascribe it to the constant verdure
brought about by the continual showers, as well as the absence of
any variation of temperature.

FROM SIHGAPOBE TO CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. — Our passage was made
between the above places in the months of March, April, and May.
As we passed towards the Straits of Sunda, we found that we were
encountering the weather usual towards the end of the northeast
monsoon ; it was frequently overcast, and during the night much rain
fell, with lightning and thunder, and a failure of the wind, with gusts
frqm the westward. Passing out of the Straits, we encountered north-
westerly winds, and during their continuance we had almost inces-
sant wet weather, until we reached latitude 17° south, and longi-
tude 98° east, when we entered the southeast trade winds, which
continued until we arrived in longitude 38° east, and in latitude
28° south. As this passage was made during the season of the hurri-
canes, I was in hopes we should have encountered one ; twice we had
strong indications of the near approach of one. In longitude 80° east,
latitude 20° south, we must have been but little removed from the vor-
tex of one of these gales : the wind shifted to the north, the barometer
fell to 29-79 in., occasionally oscillating, and continued to do so for the
period of 24 hours. The heavy swells came rapidly from the westward,
through a distance of seventy miles, and the next day it changed its

\[{ INTRODUCTION.

direction to the southeast, and continued through a distance of fifty
miles. I make mention of these facts, as it seems to me to go to prove
that the barometer, on the margin of these hurricanes, falls, and conti-
nues depressed until they have passed. I have carefully examined for
records of a gale at this period, but have nowhere met with any notice
of one. The depression of the barometer, within the tropics, as before
remarked, continued until we passed to a higher latitude, and reached
the longitude of 45°, when it rose and continued to oscillate remark-
ably above 30 in., as will be seen by the diagram on Plate XXI., page
700. Until our arrival at the Cape of Good Hope, the temperature of
the air varied from 79° to 65°, between the latitude of 10° and 34°
south, nearly -5° to each degree of latitude. It will be seen by the
diagram that it was generally a few degrees colder than the water.
The variation in the temperature of the water a few days before our
arrival, and when near the Cape of Good Hope, shows the existence
of the cold and warm currents, which have a remarkable effect upon
the climate of the Cape; of this I have made mention in the Narra-
tive, to which I would refer for the particular observations on the tem-
perature of the ocean ; the diagram also exhibits these variations very
forcibly. The rain which fell upon this passage amounted to 2-37 in. :
it was experienced in the first part of the passage, and continued until
we passed beyond the northwest monsoon, or to the northward of 15°
south latitude, and east of 100° east longitude. The temperature of
the rain was 76°, the temperature of the atmosphere being at this
time 82°. I would also refer to the phenomena, of frequent occurrence
to the eastward of the Cape, of heavy thunder-gusts, and the pecu-
liarity of their enveloping one half of the eastern sky : the beauty of
these phenomena is very striking, affording under a bright sunshine and
delightful atmosphere a view of the storm-clouds occupying one-half
the firmament, while the forked lightnings, and the roaring thunder,
were almost incessant. The same phenomena may be met with near
the Gulf Stream, and are probably engendered by the same causes.
Near the Cape, the warm tropical currents are well defined, and it is
on their edge that these remarkable appearances occur. From the
information I received, they are local in their character, or confined to
the edge of the tropical currents.

CAPE or GOOD HOPE. — Cape Town is not a suitable locality to
afford correct meteorological data, situated as it is under the Table
Mountain, and in a country so variable in surface as South Africa.
It would be difficult to find any position which would represent the

INTRODUCTION. Ujj

diversity of climate as to temperature and moisture. Through the
kindness of several gentlemen, I obtained information upon this sub-
ject, but have not deemed it necessary to embrace it on the dia-
gram. The principal causes affecting the climate of the Cape, are
the warm and cold currents ; those on the southeast side flow from
the equator, whilst those on the west come from the south polar
regions; the winds from the southeast prevail from November to
April; these pass over the warm currents, and acquire their tem-
perature ; while those that prevail from May till October come
from the north and northwest, which pass over the cold currents.
The mean temperature in summer varies from 73° to 79°, and in
winter from 57° to 62°. The mean annual temperature is 67° Fahr.
The southeast, though they are polar winds, bring fine weather; those
from north and northwest, tropical winds, are accompanied by fogs,
mists, and rain. It is true that the former period comprises the sum-
mer, and the latter the winter months ; yet the peculiarity of climate
cannot well be accounted for, unless we ascribe it to these winds pass-
ing over and acquiring the temperature of the ocean water. During
our stay the mean height of the barometer was 30'078 inches, the
temperature of the air varied from 57° to 81°, the degree of moisture
was found to be -855. The height of the vapour plain is marked on
the face of the Table Mountain, at 1,000 feet above the level of the
sea. Near the Cape refractions in the atmosphere are very common.
I have made mention of them in the Narrative, to which I would
refer. These phenomena were constantly seen when the thermo-
meter at the mast-head differed from the one on deck.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE TO ST. HELENA AND NEWYOBK. Our passage

was made to St. Helena in 15 days, during the latter part of April.
The course was direct: the temperature of the air on reaching the 17th
degree of latitude had increased from 64° to 73°, that of the water
from 66-5° to 74°. The barometer for the first few days continued
to fluctuate, and stood below 30 inches ; but as we increased our dis-
tance from the African coast, and until we reached St. Helena, it
remained above 30 inches.

We entered the trades in 24° south latitude, 2° 40' east longitude;
the winds had been quite moderate and very light from southwest to
southeast with a smooth sea, for ten days previously, and scarcely a
swell to give motion to the ship, during which time we passed over
800 miles of ocean.

St. Helena is situated in mid-ocean, and affords a comparison

14

liv INTRODUCTION.

with some of the islands in the Pacific similarly situated. The
first phenomenon differing from the islands situated in the same
latitude in the Pacific is the constancy of the southeast trades ;
these blow almost without intermission throughout the year, be-
tween the southward and eastward. There is no change during the
summer months, either in the cessation or fluctuation of the trade
winds, excepting for a few days in June, when they blow from the
northeast. Its temperature is much lower, corresponding with the
surrounding ocean. The variations throughout the year at Jamestown
do not exceed 13°, from 66° to 79° and the oscillation of the baro-
meter -065. The height of the vapour plain is about 2,000 feet.
Rain falls in frequent showers; the annual amount, in 1842, accord-
ing to observations made at the observatory, 1765 feet above the
ocean, was 79-40 inches; but this would not be obtained elsewhere on
the island, it being on that part fully exposed to the southeast winds,
and where the deposition is going on almost constantly, a position
that can hardly furnish a fair criterion of the climate of this sea-girt
island.

We carried the southeast trades to 1° south latitude, in 30° west
longitude, and the same day entered the northeast trades, which
continued uninterrupted, and freshened as we advanced to the north-
ward and westward, until we reached the parallel of 25° north,
in longitude 61° west, where we lost them. As we approached the
vicinity of the Gulf Stream, we had the wind from the southward and
westward, and variable. We crossed it, with strong winds from the
eastward, in latitude 35° 20' north, and 73° 45' west longitude, where
we found it forty-seven miles in width ; the highest temperature was
found on its inner edge, the thermometer standing at 79° Fahrenheit,
and but a short distance within 67°. In this passage the variation of
the temperature of the air and water together, with the oscillation of
the barometer, were similar to what we found them on our outward
voyage. The diagram on Plate XXII., page 726, exhibits the result.
The highest temperature occurred in and near the equator, in longi-
tude 30° west. The barometer, it will be seen, continued depressed
below 30 inches, between 15° south and 15° north latitude, our track
passing over the equatorial Atlantic in a northwest direction.

THE CRUISES OF THE PORPOISE AND BELIEF The diagram on

Plate XXIV., Appendix, shows the results of the observations made
with the sympiesometer and barometer on board the Porpoise and
Relief when detached on separate service. It will be seen that these

INTRODUCTION. \v

fully confirm the results obtained by the other vessels, cutting the
great Pacific Ocean in different directions. These need no explana-
tion. The diagram shows the route ; and the lines of reduced observa-
tions, which are marked with corresponding dates, point out the loca-
lity and result.

MAP OF ABE AS OF TEMPEBATUBE The map which faces the

title-page, is intended to point out the areas of temperature, embraced
in every 5° of temperature from that of perpetual frost up to the tem-
perature of 90°, and above. The basis of this is found in the records of
the Expedition ; but in order to complete the areas, I have had recourse
to very many authorities, and in some cases I have been obliged to rely
upon observations by no means as satisfactory as I could wish, more from
the doubtfulness of the position, than the thermometric observations.
In consequence, it is only offered as a near approximation, in hopes
that attention may be called more fully to the subject, which may
afford an opportunity at some future day of perfecting it. On the
continents, the isotheral and isocheimal curves have been drawn in
preference to that of the isothermals, which latter give but little, if any,
idea of the climate. In an examination of this map, every one must
be struck by the great influence which the areas of ocean temperature
must have upon the continents : and, instead of looking entirely to the
continents (as has been hitherto done), to produce the phenomena of
temperature, and the ever-changing aerial currents, we should seek for
the causes in the vast areas of ocean, which are constantly radiating heat,
and which we see creating many disturbances in the perennial winds,
as well as in the atmosphere in all parts of the globe. And to what more
probable cause can they be assigned, than the influx of air to restore the
equilibrium over the vast areas of rarefied surfaces? From the re-
corded observations in this volume, many instances might be cited,
which would go to prove the influence that is exerted by these areas
on the winds, clearly pointing out their tendency towards their
centres ; but my space will not permit my doing it here, and I shall
content myself with drawing the attention of observers more particu-
larly to the influences that the ocean areas of temperature may have
upon the climates, winds, and storms, that seem to emanate from, or
appear to be engendered by them.

In concluding this Introduction, I must offer my acknowledgments
for the assistance I have received from Surgeon John L. Fox, and
Passed Midshipman John Wilkes, of the Navy, in preparing the tables
for the press, and to Mr. Joseph Drayton, superintendent of the draw-

lvi INTRODUCTION.

ings and engravings, and Mr. F. D. Stuart, draughtsman of the Expe-
dition, for their aid in projecting the diagrams, and their assistance in
making the calculations for reduction to a common standard tempera-
ture and height, &c.

The following are the corrections that have been applied to the
various instruments used on board the vessels to reduce them to the
Vincennes' standard.

The correction for capillary attraction has not been applied to any
of the observations that have been reduced ; the reasons for which I
would here assign, if my space would permit. I have, however, given
the capacity, and state that I believe the mercury to have been boiled
when filled.

In conclusion, I desire to call attention to the general results of the
Meteorological Observations of the Expedition. Hitherto, I have
abstained, as far as possible, from giving anything but the facts, and
those I have stated have been for the purpose of illustrating the dia-
grams. The most remarkable phenomenon which our observations
have shown, is the irregular outline of the atmosphere surrounding
the earth, as indicated by the pressure on the mercurial column at
different parts of its surface. Our barometric observations show a
depression within the tropics, a bulging in the temperate zone, again
undergoing a depression on advancing towards the Arctic and Antarc-
tic circles. The difference between the northern and southern hemi-
sphere is equal to -929 in., whilst that between the eastern and
western sections (supposing the globe to be divided through the Ame-
rican Continent), will be '097 in. at the equator. On the east side,
at the parallels of 40° north and south, the pressure in the northern
hemisphere exceeds that of the southern by '231 in. On the west
side, on the same parallels, the difference is -171 in favour of the
northern. The difference of pressure on the western, exceeds the

INTRODUCTION. lvji

eastern by '013 in the northern hemisphere; but in the southern, it
is -047 in favour of the eastern. The annexed diagram will serve to
illustrate this irregular outline, which is produced by projecting the
corresponding mean heights of the barometer for every 5° of latitude.
Although it is difficult to account or assign a cause for this pheno-
menon, yet it would seem to result from the difference or unequal
distribution of the land and water in the two
hemispheres. And this opinion is somewhat
strengthened from the same, though a much
less difference, occurring in longitude, as it
will be perceived that the western section,
comprising the Pacific Ocean, is almost desti-
tute of land, when brought into comparison
with the eastern on the same parallels. The

bulging of the outline within the north and south temperate zone is
different on whatever meridian a section of the globe may be made ;
the former being greater than the latter: and here again we see the
great disparity of land that exists.

Will not this irregular outline of the atmosphere readily account
for many of the oscillations, or wave-like undulations, to which our
atmosphere is subject, and its constant variations, which are found to
be progressive over large areas ? Must not the inequality in height at
all times tend to cause action and reaction ? Hence the atmospheric
tides. In different latitudes these are seen by the oscillations of the
barometer to be extremely unequal, and the greatest inequalities cor-
responding to those latitudes when the column stands highest; while
within the tropics, where the pressure is less, the oscillations are more
regular, and free from the disturbances and sudden changes which so
frequently take place in the temperate zone. The changes of pressure
proceeding north and south on a meridian, have been, in some cases,
imputed to the action of the trade winds, from its occurring within
their limits. From what has been already shown in these pages, it is
evident that this cannot hold good in the Southern Pacific ; for it will
be recollected that they are confined with narrow limits in latitude,
as well as being intermitted for a part of the year, and that this
depression extends through the zone of variable winds near the
equator.

The degree of moisture is greater in the southern hemisphere than
the northern, as also in the western section than the eastern. To

15

INTRODUCTION.

this, I have thought, might be imputed in part the difference in the
pressure.

The intensity of light and feebleness of the solar radiation has been
proved, by our instruments, to be much less in the southern hemi-
sphere in high latitudes : the former appears to be confirmed by the
experiments made to ascertain the penetrability of light in the water.
The experiments which have led to these results cannot be given in
this place. They belong to another part of this work, in which they
will be given in detail. On the temperature, it will be unnecessary
for me to say anything farther, as I have already made reference to
it, in the explanations of the diagrams and the remarks I have offered
on the various climates we have visited.
