1014 A Seventh Memoir on the Law of Storms in India. [No. 131. 



6th June — Wind veered to S. S. W., gale abating, noon blowing in 

 subdued gusts from W. 



The gale could not have been so severe here, as it appears to have 

 been in Calcutta ; not a tree or hut blown down. The most remark- 

 able feature was, the quantity of rain that fell. Lands which are in- 

 undated so late as August, are completely flooded. The river is rising 

 rapidly. 



E. SMART, Deputy Collector. 



Mr. Lautour, Magistrate of Dinagepore, Latitude 25° 07' N. Longi- 

 tude 89° 40' E. has kindly sent me the following report of the 

 weather as experienced at that station. 



2d June. — Heavy shower from the S. E. and E. S. E. at 5 p. m. 



3d June. — Cloudy throughout, and towards evening every appear- 

 ance of a gale, which commenced about 10 o'clock, and continued 

 increasing throughout the night, with small rain, wind N. E. 



4th June Gale and rain continue without abatement, wind N. E. 



and E. N. E., no abatement during the night. 



5th June. — The gale moderating, the wind gradually drawing 



round to the Southward of E., gradually declining in violence 



throughout the day, and the whole country under water on Monday 



morning. I have no means of giving you any Barometer returns; 



the quantity of rain which fell during the gale was from four to five 



inches. It extended some distance North of this, as a friend of mine 



was put down in his palkee between this and Titalyah ; the gale was 



not felt at Darjeeling, where the weather however was wet. During 



the gale, the wind never veered to the West. I suspect you will find 



Titalyah to have been its northern terminus. 



E. LAUTOUR, .Magistrate. 



I did not neglect Mr. Latour's remark, and. in reply to my applica- 

 tion, Mr. Montgomery, the Post Master, has been good enough to 

 send me the following account of the weather experienced there. 

 Titalyah is in latitude 26° 28' N. longitude 88° 25', or about 

 on the meridian of Calcutta. 



In reply to your letter of the 15th instant, I beg leave to state, that 

 the weather here from the 1st till about one o'clock a. m. 4th, was
