The observations taken throughout India shew that the barometric 

 depression had continued to travel westward in the same general direction 

 as during the previous two days, and with the same velocity approxi- 

 mately as during the afternoon of the 1st. A rapid recovery of pressure 

 had occurred over the greater part of the Central Provinces, amounting 

 at several stations to "15 '. The barometer had on the other hand fallen 

 over the districts towards which the centre was advancing. The fall 

 was greatest at Indore, where it slightly exceeded "25" since 10 a. m. 

 of the 1st. Pressure had decreased over the whole of the Punjab, the 

 North- Western Provinces, Bombay, and the greater part of Bengal and 

 Burmah. This fall was due to general actions unconnected with the 

 continuance of the depression in Western India.
