that the first remarkable fact observed
by him was that OF certain seasons Of
the year, when sbcet-lightning appeared
almost every night. always in west
or sOuthwesterly direction, and inyaria-
bly, near the horizon; IL may be, there
fore, he remarks, that these discharges
occur IN the region where the moist and
dustless sea-wind meets the dry and
dusty land-wind-one being, perhaps posi-
tiyely electrified, ana the other negative
~. In these lightning displays as many
as coo flashes per minute have been count
ed. this rate being kept up for an
hour or an hour and a half Another
notable pecul.ar.ty remarked OF this re-
glon is that the heaviest rains are unac-
companied By thunder, while the dis

by any rain.
