1842.] A Seventh Memoir on the Law of Storms in India. 989 



when the storm was at its highest with you, we were luxuriating in a 

 sultry calm. 



R. B. CUMBERLAND, 



From A. Minto Esq. C. S., Cuttack. 



I scarcely should have thought it of any use to forward the few 

 imperfect remarks about the weather on the early part of this month, 

 as noted by me ; but as you expressed a wish to procure all the infor- 

 mation possible, I give you mine, such as it is. 



1st June. — Continued rain nearly all day, calm. 



Id June Partial heavy showers, calm. 



3d June. — Partial heavy showers; during the night rain fell heavy, 

 with strong wind from the Southward, which did not continue above 

 an hour. 



I may observe, that the wind was considered by me merely a puff, 

 such as frequently accompanies falls of rain ; I was in bed at the 

 time, and thought it uncommon; the hour I should say was about 

 midnight. 



A. MINTO. 



The following is the Report from Balasore by the Master 

 Attendant. 



I beg leave to forward a copy of my log kept at Balasore. We have 

 had no gales, but a good fall of rain ; only a slight Bank was percepti- 

 ble to the Eastward on the 31st May.
