1877.] H. F. TAiin^ord— Catalogue of Cyclones in the Bay of Bengal. 329 



The basis of the present catalogue has been furnished by the two lists 

 published by Dr. Baist in Vols, xii and xiv, of the Transactions of the Bom- 

 bay Geograpliical Society, and that given by Mr. Piddington in the Sailor's 

 Horn Book,* accompanying a chart of the storm tracks. To these I have 

 added a considerable number of storms, notices of which I have gathered 

 from other sources, and also those recorded in recent years in the Eeports 

 of the Meteorological Department. A few evident errors in Dr. Buist's 

 catalogues (possibly arising from misprints) have been corrected, and atten- 

 tion has been drawn to some doubtful cases.

 the following symbols :
