quently extending over a larger area. In other words, the cyclonic ac- 

 tion becomes less intense and more diffuse, which is probably the first 

 step in the disintegration of cyclonic disturbances. On the other hand, 

 if, after its passage across hills, it receives increased energy and again 

 intensifies, this is usually indicated by a contraction of the storm area, 

 and by an increase of the depression near the centre. 



The position of the centre at 4 p. m. was apparently almost identical 

 with that in which it had been at 10 A. M., and was, so far as can be 

 inferred from the observations, in Lat. 21° 50' N. and Long. 83° 30' E., or 

 about 20 miles to the west of its position at 10 A. m.
