For the sake of easier and comparative reference, I have now, as in 

 my former memoirs, arranged in tables, abbreviated notices of all the 

 effects of the storms which the logs and reports offer, from about the 

 middle of the Bay to Monghyr, Purneah, Dinagepore, &c. where the 

 different storms appear to have broken up, and to have only been felt 

 in those squalls of one or more hour's duration, which are called North- 

 westers, North-easters, &c, according to the quarter from which they 

 come. I have not carried the tables beyond the limits of the true rota- 

 tory storms, not considering it worth while to do so, and as rather 

 complicating them for purposes of reference. In the summary which 

 follows them, where the storms are tracked in detail, and the facts and 

 arguments upon which the various results are founded are alluded to, 

 and laid down, farther reference to that portion of the documents which 

 relates to those places which were out of the limits of the storm will 

 be made.
