Abstract
ON the evening of August 16 last year (1877) a heavy thunderstorm took place in this vicinity (South-port). It was preceded by a fall of the barometer not exceding one-tenth of an inch, the wind at 1 o'clock P.M. being west, backing gradually until at 9 o'clock P.M. it was south. At the time of the storm to which my present observations refer it was south-west, and consequently its direction was nearly parallel with the coast line.
