370 Eighth Memoir on the [No. 137. 



detail of the observations. From the notes forwarded by Captain 

 Newbold, it would seem that at Hydrabad, nothing of note was ex- 

 perienced. At Bellary, latitude about 15° 6' N. longitude 77° 5' E. 

 the Barometer fell from the 23rd October to the 27th, from 28.65 to 

 28.55* (height of the station above Madras not given,) and by the 

 29th had risen again to 28.65. The weather cloudy at times, and 

 the winds from N. to NE. and NW. to the 25th, and then for four 

 days from the SE., but the weather quite fine. At Bangalore on 

 the 25th October, a good deal of wind and rain, almost a storm, 

 the direction not noted. This we have from Capt. Green's observa- 

 tion, as forwarded by Capt. Campbell, and mentioned in the extracts 

 of his letter, page 366. 



The following Notes are extracted from a second letter from Capt. 



Newbold, who has also obliged me with some views, which will be 

 found at length in the Summary. 



Since my last, answers have come to my queries from the Southward, 

 decisive of the truth of my supposition of the current's having passed 

 over the peninsula in an easterly direction, to the great gap of Coim- 

 batore, thus bursting through the lofty ghaut barrier upon the Arabian 

 Sea and islets immediately opposite. It was felt severely at Salem, 

 11° 41' N. Lat. blowing from the N. E. right in the direction of the 

 gap, and clearly proving the Southerly direction imparted to part of 

 this Easterly blast by the contour of the hilly barrier. 



At Madura, 9° 57' N. Lat. or 1° 44' South of Salem, the storm was 

 not felt in the least, nor at Paumban 9 C 18' N. Lat. on the coast, 

 where the weather on the 4th and 5th October rather finer than it had 

 been. On the 5th, wind from S. W., fresh breeze with lightning from 

 N. W. from 7 to 11 p. m., and wind from same quarter on the 6th 

 October; wind a little stronger and from same quarter, and a little 

 thunder and lightning at the same hour. On the 7th, the wind was 

 light, thunder and lightning as before. No barometrical remarks 

 made. Those of the Thermometer have nothing worthy of remark. 



It is evident, therefore, that the storm did not extend so far South 

 down the coast as Paumban, and from its not being felt at Madura, 

 probablynot so far as Point Calymere.
