The above return shews that, with the exception of a few local 

 showers, rain had ceased in the Province of Bengal. 



As daily returns of rainfall in Central India and the Bombay Pre- 

 sidency are not at my disposal, it is not possible to give full details of 

 this element of observation for the previous 24 hours. The returns of 

 Bhuj, Rajkote, Kurrachee, &c., however, indicate clearly that the rainfall 

 was heavy over the southern half of the cyclonic area and light over the 

 northern. 



Aith July. — The following are observations taken at 10 A. m. of the 4th, 

 and illustrate the more important changes that had occurred during the 

 previous 24 hours in the meteorology of India.
