September, ;
The above observations were taken at the s] mooring about 3 miles northeast of the local o: "Weather Bureau, and the distance from the centc the hurricane is about the same as that of the ' office, Weather Bureau. It is rioted that this baron fell a little more rapidly than the Weather Bn barometer.
Barometer readings at Burrwood, La., on the bank at the mouth of the southwest, pass of the Missis River, have been furnished by Mr. George E. Hende: special meteorological observer, Weather Bureau follows:

Mr. Henderson and his family, with others in Bum went aboard the XJ. S. dredge Benyaurd, deeming safer than to remain ashore. This explains wlr readings of the mercurial barometer were discont after 8:30 a. m. of the 29th,
It is observed that the aneroid barometer on the dredge New Orleans (see Table 3) read 0.24 inch toe at 2 a. m. of the 2Sth, that it fell more rapidly tha mercurial barometer until 6 a. m., when it was onb of an inch above the mercurial, but that at 8 a. n aneroid shewed a more sluggish fall and was 0.09 inch higher than the mercurial. The passage o; storm has furnished some interesting features in cc tion with the ordinary aneroid barometers. Some oids which have been "checked with the mercurial b eter in this cf5.ce and found very accurate at ore pressures read much too low and others read toe during the passage of the hurricane. The Weathc rear, barometer at Burrwood shows a pressure of inches at 8:30 a. m. on September 28, while the ai shows the lowest during the storm as 29.00 inches a a, m. At New Orleans the barometer fell 0.33 inch < the hour just ^preceding the occurrence of the ' pressure, but New Orleans was much nearer the of the hurricane than Burrwood.. and this explain the fall in pressure was not so great at Burrwood New Orleans. Judging from the actions of the a barometer on the U, S. dredge Nett' Orleans, it is entlv safe to assume -that the lowest barometer at woo'd was ah cut 28.80 inches. The relation of Bui to the center of tnc hurricane will be taken up late The barometer readings given in Table 4 were m Morgan City, La. (87 miles west of New Orleans furnished hy Mr. ii. A. Squires, of Morgan's Louis Texas Railroad & Steamship Co.
