    An examination of the fluctuations presented in the foregoing Tallies, especially with respect to Sulphur, Chlorine, and Nitrogen in the forms of Ammonia and of “Albumenoid Ammonia” respectively, shows, amongst other things:— (1.) That the general character of the air prevailing in any part of the City can only lie ascertained by means of observations carried on continuously, for some time, under the varying circum- stances of weather. (2.) That the, effect of a fresh breeze of wind in the way of purifying the air of the City is very marked. (3.) That the circumstances connected with the fall of rain appear to merit careful examination.
