 with a continuance of the grant. 



The present condition of the proposed publication may be learned 

 from the following extract from a letter Irom Dr. Meldrum, dated 

 Mauritius Observatory, July 9, 1884 : — 



' Oar synoptic charts from Januai-y and March, 1861, have been 

 lithographed by Messrs. Johnston, so far as the winds and weathers are 

 concerned, and all that is wanted to complete them are the isobars. I 

 regret that I have been unable to complete them for the meeting. The 

 tracks of the cyclones for the Indian Ocean for each year since 1847 are 

 ready.'
