the differences in the amount of wind recorded at different stations 

 apparently similarly situated with regard to the storm. They can only 

 be ascribed either to erroneous reading of the anemometers by the 

 observers at the stations under consideration, or to slight but influential 

 differences in the geographical or topographical features of the districts 

 or stations in which the meteorological observatories are situated. The 

 latter appears to be the more probable explanation.

The contrast between the winds in different quarters is also evi- 

 denced by the amounts of wind received at the same station from 

 different directions. Thus, at Saugor Island, the amount of wind regis- 

 tered for the 24 hours preceding 4 P. M. of the 28th was 192 miles, 

 and for tht same period prior to 4 p. m. of the 29th it was 524 miles. 

 The wind during these intervals was from N. E. During the next 24 

 hours, when southerly winds chiefly prevailed, 776 miles were recorded. 



Similarly, at 

 17 



Balasore, 240 miles were registered for the 48 hours pre-
