Excerpt from The American Journal of Science and Arts, Vol. 105: January to June, 1873 The two largest specimens, dredged in 28 fathoms, east of Grand Menan, by the writer, measured 5 inches across the disk and tentacles, but their bodies were mutilated. Entire ones of much smaller size were dredged by Dr. Packard and Ir. Cooke in 110 and 150 fathoms, soft mud, near St. George's Bank. The largest of these was 8 inches long, and like other species of the genus, inhabited a thick, tough, felt-like, muddy tube.

Excerpt from The American Journal of Science and Arts, Vol. 113: January to June, 1877 Northwest wind at Eastport, Fort Garry, Fort Sully, Mt. Washington, Norfolk, Oswego and Pembina. At three of these stations, viz: Cleveland, Duluth and Os wego, the northerly wind was probably the result of the cooler air of the Lakes moving toward the warmer land. Three of the stations, viz: Fort Sully, Fort Garry and Pembina, were situated on the north side of the area which was most heated; and two other stations, viz: Eastport and Mt. Washington were on the extreme eastern border of the heated area. At Mobile the velocity of the wind was only one mile per hour; at Norfolk and Yankton it was four miles; and at Santa Fe five miles per hour.

Excerpt from The American Journal of Science and Arts, Vol. 8: Nos. 43-48; July to December, 1874 These numbers indicate that the stron sr the wind on the west side of the storm, the less is the vfiocity of the storm's pro ress. The velocity of the wind in the west quadrant gen eral y exceeds the velocity in the east quadrant by 22 per cent. When the velocity in the east quadrant is equal to that in the west quadrant, the velocity of the storm's progress is seven miles per hour greater than the mean; but when the velocit of the wind in the west quadrant exceeds that in the east qua rant by 44 per cent, the velocity of the storm's progress is seven miles per hour less than the mean.

Excerpt from The American Journal of Science and Arts Art. I. - Memoir of the Life and Character of Nathaniel Bowditch, LL. D., F .R, S.; by Rev. Alexander Young. Nathaniel Bowditch was born at Salem, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on the 26th day of March, 1773. He was the fourth child of Habakkuk and Mary Ingersoll Bowditch. His ancestors, for three generations, had been shipmasters, and his father, on retiring from that perilous mode of bard industry, carried on the trade of a cooper, by which he gained a scanty and precarious subsistence for a family of seven children. I had a curiosity to trace up the life of this wonderful man, if possible, to his childhood, to ascertain his early character and powers, and the influences under which his heart and mind had been formed. Accordingly on a recent visit to Salem, I took a walk, of some two or three miles, to see a house where he used to say that he and his mother had lived when he was as yet hardly advanced beyond infancy.
