Mem .- All those marked * are derived from authentic records or personal observation.
NOTES .- In a diary kept by the late William Caldwell, I find the following entries :
1801 .- February 27. The ice moved, and the river was entirely clear on the 28th. W. C.
1802 .- January 11. The ice moved this morning, and the river was entirely clear at night. January 22. The river again frozen over .- W. C.
1817-18 .- This winter was long and intensely cold. On the third of March, 1818, the ice moved in a body downwards for some dis- tance, and there remained stationary. The river was not clear until March 25.
1820-21. The river closed on the 13th, opened on the 20th, and finally closed December 1. This was one of the four winters during

a century, in which the Hudson, between Powles' Hook and New York, was crossed on the ice; the other three being 1740, '41, 1765, '66, and 1779, '80.
January 12, 1824. The river was clear of ice, and remained so for several days.
1827-28. The river opened and closed repeatedly during this win- ter. Dec. 21, it closed a second time.
1830-31. Opened in consequence of heavy rains, and closed again on the 10th of January. 1831.
1832-33. Opened again January 3; closed again January 11.
1834-35 .- March 17. River open opposite to the city. March 18. Steamboat John Jay came to Van Wie's Point; ice at the overslaugh.
1847-48 .- December 24. River closed. December 31. River open.
As the river throughout to New York has not always been clear of ice on the days stated above, the time at which the first stea:nboat passed from New York to Albany, or vice versa, is also added for a few years :
1835, March 25.
1836, April 10.
1837, March 31, Robert L. Stevens.
1838, April 10.
1839, March 25, Swallow.
1840. February 25, Mount Pleasant.
1841, March 26, Utica.
1841, February 6, Telegraph. In consequence of heavy rains, the river opened in front of the city of Albany on the 8th of January, and can hardly be said to have closed again during the season. The ice, however, continued piled up some miles below, at and about Barren Island, near Schodack Landing, and thus rendered the chan- nel impassable. Cold weather followed about the middle of February, and again obstructed the navigation. A steamboat arrived again on the 1st of March, 1842.
1843, April 13, Utica.
1844, March 18, 11 A. M., Utica.
1345, February 24, steamboat Norwich at 1 A. M., from New York. Left that city on the 22d, at 8 P. M. River full of ice from West Point upwards. Ice opposite Albany stationary, except a small portion that broke away yesterday, opposite Lydius street.
