This discrepancy occurred during the high tide of 1846, when the highest tide did not occur on the day stated in the Tide Table, but, on the contrary, the second tide on the following day was the highest. Again, on one occasion, in the Tide Table the depth of water on Swansea bar is stated to be 23 feet, whereas it amounted to 30 feet; an increase in the tidal wave equal to two-thirds the average depth of water on the bar at high water during the lowest neap tides. It is much to be desired that the amount of disturbance occasioned by the various winds should be ascertained and arranged as the equation table is for the sun-dial, so that persons who may be interested in the inquiry may be enabled to ascertain the accurate height of tide at high water.
