1022 A Seventh Memoir on the Law of Storms in India. [No. 131. 



6tk June, — It was calm. 1 have no Barometer, the gale was strong- 

 est on the morning of the 5th, after the wind had shifted to the 

 Westward, say between 4 and 7 a. m. Observed no calm, rain and 

 wind incessant from the evening of the 3d to the evening of the 

 5th ; one tree in my court-yard blown down. A tall palm, about three 

 feet in circumference, was blown down during the night of the 4th, 

 or rather morning of the 5th, most probably before 7 a. m. of the 5th, 

 lying E. by N. and roots W. by S. Heavy rain. All the country 

 overflowed, mud walls washed down ; but no roofs blown off, and no 

 thunder and lightning. 



Between 1 and 4 p. m. of the 3d, it was gloomy drizzling weather, 

 with not much wind ; what there was came from N. E. 



Purulia, latitude 23° 20' N. longitude 86° 24' E. 



From Captain Hannyngton, 1st Assistant to the Governor General's 

 Agent, S. W. Frontier, Maunboom, I have received a valuable report, 

 and he has subsequently ascertained the difference of level between his 

 station, Purulia, and Calcutta, so as to enable me to apply the barome- 

 trical correction, reducing the observations to the same level as those 

 taken at Calcutta. Purulia being 672 1 feet above the level of Calcutta, 

 the correction becomes 0.676. additive, to his observations, to reduce 

 them to the standard of ours, which has been done in printing his 

 table, by adding a second column to them, headed " Corrected to the 

 level of Calcutta."
