only 5 per cent, of the cases for the six remaining months of the j-ear. Of tlie West India cyclones 

 previously rei)()rte(l 88 per cent, occurred in the months of August, September, and October, leaving 

 only 12 per cent, for the remaining nine months of the year ; that is, the Asiatic cyclones occur in 

 the spring almost as frequently as in the autumn ; but the West India cyclones are almost exclu- 

 sively contined to the period near the autumnal e(iuinox. 



The lowest latitude of any storm i)ath here recorded is 61°, and (here are fourteen cases below 

 latitude 12°. The lowest latitude of pny of the West India cyclones is 10°..'i, and there are only 

 three cases as low as latitude 12°.

The courses of these storms while moving westward range from 13° south of west ro 86° 

 north of west, the average direction being 38° north of west. In two cases the course was 

 reported to be south of west, and in one case it was exactly west, which result accords very 

 closely with that before found for West India cyclones. The average velocity of progress of these 

 storms while advancing westward was 8.1 En^ish statute miles per hour, which is less than half 

 the average velocity of West India cyclones. 



The average latitude of the storm centers, when the course became due north, was 19o.8, ami 

 the latitudes range from 14^ to 24°.3, which is ten degrees more southerly than the latitude before
