C. Little— On two remarkable rain-bursts 'in Bengal. [No. 2, 



The southerly movement is less marked than was the case in June. 

 The fall of temperature began in Assam on the 10th, it extended to 

 Bengal Proper on the 11th, and there was a slight fall in Orissa also on 

 that date. But unlike the earlier disturbance, mean temperature did not 

 fall below the normal in Orissa, and in the Circars temperature con- 

 tinued high throughout the period. 



From Tables VII (b) and VIII (6) it may be seen that the fall of 

 temperature which began in Assam on the 10th, and North Bengal on 

 the 11th, occurred in Bihar on the 11th, and in the United Provinces, 

 Punjab, and Kashmir on the 12th. From Table VIII (b) in which the 

 variation from the normal is given it may be seen that there was a very 

 large defect in Assam on the 11th and 12th, and at Srinagar and Leh on 

 the 13th and 11th. 



The rainfall Tables IX (b) and X (b) show as before the heavy rain- 

 fall in Bengal Proper on the 11th, the heavy rain in Assam on the 

 previous day the lObh, and that the days of heavy rainfall in the west 

 of India were the 12th and 13th.
