1885/01:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996), who altered the track reasonably from that shown in Neumann et al. (1993). 990 mb central pressure corresponds to 63 kt from the subtropical
wind-pressure relationship - 70 kt chosen for best track.  981 mb central pressure corresponds to 72 kt from the northern wind-pressure relationship - 70 kt chosen for best track.  983 mb central pressure corresponds to 70 kt from the northern wind-pressure relationship - 70 kt chosen for best track.  A pressure reading of 975 mb not in the hurricane's center (at 18 UTC on the 10th of August) suggests winds of at least 78 kt from the northern wind-pressure relationship - 80 kt chosen for best track.  The storm is determined to have reached hurricane intensity from these pressure reports and several other ship
reports.

1885/02:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996), 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 the S.E. United States.  958 mb central pressure corresponds to 91 kt in the northern wind-pressure relationship - 90 kt chosen for best track.  A pressure reading of 976 mb not in the hurricane's center (at 06 UTC on 25th of August) suggests winds of at least 80 kt from the subtropical latitude wind-pressure relationship - 100 kt chosen for best track (because of this information as well
as extreme damage caused by winds in South Carolina).  This is the basis for determining that the storm reached major hurricane intensity.

1885/03:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996).  Track unaltered from Neumann et al. (1993).  Inland decay model of Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over the S.E. United
States.  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 storm intensity).

1885/04:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996).  Track unaltered from Neumann et al. (1993).  Inland decay model of Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over the S.E. United States.  Two pressure readings of 973 mb and 975 mb not in the hurricane's center (both at 06 UTC on the 23rd of September) suggests winds of at least 80 kt and 79 kt respectively from the northern wind-pressure relationship - 80 kt chosen for best track.  This storm is determined to have reached hurricane status based upon these peripheral pressures.

1885/05:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996).  Track unaltered from Neumann et al. (1993).  999 mb central pressure corresponds to a wind of 49 kt from the southern wind-pressure
relationship - 50 kt utilized in best track.  Storm is determined to have reached hurricane intensity based upon reports from the ship "Sirius".

1885/06:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996).  Track unaltered from Neumann et al. (1993).  Inland decay model of Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over the S.E. United
States.  Storm determined to have reached hurricane intensity while over the Atlantic based upon reports from the ship "Lone Star".

1885/07:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996).  Track unaltered from Neumann et al. (1993).  A pressure reading of 982 mb not in the hurricane's center (at 12 UTC on the 29th of September)
suggests winds of at least 71 kt from the northern wind-pressure relationship - 80 kt chosen for the best track.  Storm determined to have reached hurricane intensity based upon this peripheral pressure
reading and wind reports from the ship "Mistletoe".

1885/08:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996), 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 the eastern United States.  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 as an extratropical storm).
