ISDl.] Library. 95 



I regret exceedingly that I omitted to consult the thermometer at the 

 time, to note the degree of the temperature when exposed to the in- 

 tensely hot blast. From the result of enquiries instituted by me among 

 my tenants and others, the fiery hot blast appears to have extended to a 

 radius of several miles of my residence, which, I may state, is situated 

 in Khulna Proper, on the left bank or east side of the wide river 

 Uupshaha, on the opposite or west side of which river stands the present 

 Civil Station of Khulna, and within half a mile distance from it. 



I have never before this occurrence experienced anywhere in India, 

 or elsewhere, such a strange intensely hot blast, and cannot in any way 

 satisfactorily account for it. As the subject may be of some interest to 

 Meteorologists, perhaps it would be worth while to fully discuss and 

 elucidate it. I may add that, I find from the Gentenary Review of the 

 Society, that in Jour. As. Soc, B., Vol. XVII, 1848, there appears a 

 paper on this subject from the veteran Meteorologist H. Piddington, 

 entitled " A Notice of a remarkable Hot Wind in the Zillah of Purneah," 

 but owing to the destruction of my Library I am unable to refer to it.
