1874/01:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b).  Track Unaltered from Neumann et al. (1993).  Inland decay model of Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over Texas.  The best track provided appears to describe the full life cycle of this tropical cyclone (from its formation as a tropical storm until its dissipation below tropical depression strength).

1874/02:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b).  Track unaltered from Neumann et al. (1993).  Storm is determined to have reached hurricane status based upon a report from "a sailing vessel".

1874/03:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b), who altered the track reasonably from that shown in Neumann et al. (1993). Pressure reading of 980 mb not in storm's center (on 18 UTC, 7th of September) suggests winds of at least 73 kt from the northern wind-pressure relationship - 70 kt chosen for best track as it is determined that the storm had already undergone extratropical transition by
this point.  Storm determined to have reached hurricane status based upon several ship observations.

1874/04:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b).  Track unaltered from Neumann et al. (1993).  Inland decay model of Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over Mexico and Texas.  The best track provided appears to describe the full life cycle of this tropical cyclone (from its formation as a tropical storm until its dissipation below tropical depression strength).

1874/05:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b).  Track unaltered from Neumann et al. (1993).

1874/06:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b), who altered the track reasonably from that shown in Neumann et al. (1993). Inland decay model of Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over Mexico, Florida and the eastern United States.   A pressure reading of 996 mb not in the storm's center (at 06 UTC, September 28th) suggests winds of at least 53 kt from the Gulf of Mexico wind-pressure relationship - 60 kt chosen for best track. A central pressure of 984 mb suggests 71 kt using the subtropical latitude wind-pressure relationship - 70 kt chosen for best track.  A central pressure of 987 mb suggests 67 kt using the subtropical latitude wind-pressure relationship - 70 kt chosen for best track.  A central pressure of 980 mb suggests 73 kt using the northern wind-pressure relationship - 60 kt chosen as it is determined that the storm transitioned to extratropical.  The storm is determined to have reached hurricane force from the 984 mb central pressure and reports from
the ship "Emma D. Finney".  The best track provided appears to describe the full life cycle of this tropical cyclone (from its formation as a tropical storm to its peak as a hurricane until its dissipation as an extratropical storm).

1874/07:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b), who altered the track reasonably from that shown in Neumann et al. (1993). Inland decay model of Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over Jamaica and Cuba.  Used an accelerated decay rate over Cuba to take into account the enhanced topography.  The storm is determined to have reached hurricane force based upon description of severe damage in Jamaica.
