 instant did not reach, I beg to mention, that we had no storm at 

 Patna, but only a slight fall of rain (~ of an inch) on the 4th from 

 the East. On the 10th, however, we had a violent storm from the

 thunder, at least it was not very loud, but blew with great violence, 

 up-rooting several trees in my compound. My pluviometer was upset 

 and broken, so I cannot state the amount of rain, but it must have 



been two inches I think."
