1876/01:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b) for this newly documented hurricane.  970 mb central pressure suggests 82 kt from the northern wind-pressure relationship - 80 kt chosen for best track.  Storm is determined to have reached hurricane intensity based upon the 970 mb central pressure measurement.

1876/02:  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 Hispanola, Cuba and the NE United States.  Used accelerated decay rate to take into account enhanced topography over Hispanola and Cuba. 990 mb central pressure (twice) suggests 64 kt from the southern wind-pressure relationship - 70 kt chosen for best track. 991 mb central pressure suggests 63 kt from the southern wind-pressure relationship - 70 kt chosen for best track. 999 mb central pressure suggests 49 kt from the southern wind-pressure relationship - 50 kt chosen for best track. 985 mb central pressure suggests 68 kt from the northern wind-pressure relationship - 60 kt chosen for best track, which is reduced as storm was inland at this position.  A central pressure of 980 mb at landfall is estimated, which suggests 75 kt from the subtropical latitude wind-pressure relationship - 80 kt chosen for best track. Storm is determined to have reached hurricane intensity in the Caribbean  based upon damage accounts from St. Kitts and Vieques and upon the 990 mb and 991 mb central pressure measurements.  Storm is determined to have regained hurricane intensity in the Atlantic based upon ship and land (Cape Lookout, North Carolina) wind reports as well as the 980 mb estimated
central pressure at landfall.

1876/03:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b).  Track unaltered from Neumann et al. (1993).

1876/04:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b) for this newly documented hurricane. Inland decay model of Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over Central America with an
accelerated decay rate to account for enhanced topography.  The storm is determined to have reached hurricane intensity based upon reports from the ship "Nile" and from the destruction that occurred in Nicaragua.

1876/05:  Two major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b).  The first is to start the track of the tropical cyclone in the southwest Caribbean Sea to take into account heavy swells observed in Tunas de
Zaza, Cuba as reported in Partagas and Diaz (1995b).  The second major change is to position the hurricane on 12 UTC 20th of October near Melbourne, Florida based upon observations reported in Doehring et al. (1994). Otherwise, track is reasonably altered from that shown in Neumann et al. (1993) by Partagas and Diaz.  Inland decay model of Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over Cuba and Florida. 971 mb central pressure suggests 88 kt using the southern wind-pressure relationship - 90 kt chosen for best track.  973 mb central pressure suggests 86 kt using the southern wind-pressure relationship - 90 kt chosen.  976 mb central pressure suggests 80 kt using the subtropical latitude wind-pressure relationship - 80 kt chosen for best track.  Storm is
determined to have reached hurricane status based upon destruction reported in Grand Cayman and Cuba, the central pressure observations of 971, 973 and 976 mb, several ship reports and wind observations from Key West, Florida.
