1875/01:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b) for this newly documented hurricane.  The storm is determined to have reached hurricane force based upon several ship reports.

1875/02:  The only major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b) is to extend the track of this tropical cyclone back to the 1st of September to take into account that this was the first day of its existance reported in Neumann et al. (1993).  However, the other track modifications that Partagas and Diaz (1995b) provided from that shown in Neumann et al. (1993) were reasonable.  982 mb central pressure suggests 75 kt from the southern wind-pressure relationship - 70 kt chosen for best track.  The storm is determined to have reached hurricane force based upon the central pressure measurement and several ship reports.

1875/03:  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 Cuba and Texas. 978 mb central pressure suggests 80 kt from the southern wind-pressure relationship - 80 kt chosen for best track.992 mb central pressure suggests 61 kt from the southern wind-pressure relationship - 60 kt chosen for best track.  A pressurereading of 979 mb not in the hurricane's center (at 00 UTC, September 17th) suggests winds of at least 78 kt from the Gulf of Mexico wind-pressure relationship - 90 kt is chosen for best track.  Storm is determined to have reached hurricane force in the Caribbean based upon severe damage reports from Barbados, St. Vincent, Martinique, Dominica and Cuba, several ship reports and the 978 mb central pressure. Storm regained hurricane force and reached major hurricane status in the Gulf of Mexico based upon ship reports, destruction in Indianola and Galveston, Texas, and the peripheral pressure at landfall.

1875/04:  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 the SE United States.  The best track provided appears to describe the full life cycle of this tropical cyclone (from its formation as a tropical storm to its dissipation below tropical depression intensity).

1875/05:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b) for this newly documented hurricane.  Storm is determined to have reached hurricane status based upon several ship reports.

1875/06:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b), who altered the track reasonably from that shown in Neumann et al. (1993). Storm is determined to have reached hurricane force based upon reports from the ship "E.E. Ruckett".
