Allowing for the amount of the fall of the barometer between 10 

 A. M. and 4 p. M. due to the diurnal oscillation, the barometer had risen at 

 Sambalpore "ll", and had also risen at Akola '02". The only portion of 

 the area in which it had fallen was that represented by the station of 

 Seoni, where it had fallen '03". 



The wind directions at Seoni and Nagpore were east and west 

 respectively, and indicate that the centre was between these two stations, 

 and probably some little distance to the east of the line joining them. 

 Its probable position was hence in Lat. 22° N. and Long. 79° 45' E.
