1842.] A Seventh Memoir on the Law of Storms in India. 1013 



On the 2nd at J past 3 p. m., a storm with much rain from N. W. 

 unattended with thunder and lightning, the morning had been fine, 

 and so was the evening and early part of the night; towards the morn- 

 ing of the 3rd, it became cloudy ; at day-break light wind from N. E. 

 and a little rain. At 7 a. m. wind increased and continued to blow 

 with great violence the whole day. About 10 p. m. the wind increased, 

 and blew with fearful violence until the morning of the 4th, when it fell 

 a little, but it still blew with great violence the whole day, with heavy 

 gusts and much rain, and continued so until 8 a. m. on the 5th, when 

 the wind veered round to S. W. or rather nearer W. and blew from 

 that quarter with great violence until next morning, the 6th, when it 

 died away ; but the rain did not cease until the afternoon, since then 

 the sky has been clear until this time, with Southerly wind.

In reply to some inquiries, Mr. Russell writes as follows : — 



The storm commenced on the morning of the 3d with the wind 

 from N. E., but from 7 a. m. on that day until 8 a. m. on the 5th 

 (Sunday,) it blew steadily from the East, or a little North of East, 

 it then went round to S. W., and remained in that quarter until 

 it cleared up. The storm was most violent during the night of the 3d.
