An Eighteenth Memoir on the Law of Storms in India, being the 

 Cyclone of 12th to \4th October 1848, in the Bay of Bengal. By 

 Henry Piddington, President of Marine Courts. 

 [Throughout this paper the word Cyclone designates a Circular Storm. — H. P.] 

 ( Concluded from page 857.) 



I proceed now to give in a Tabular form the winds and weather 

 experienced by the various ships and stations during the Cyclone, at 

 noon on different days, from which its gradually reaching and strength 

 at the spot will be seen, and at the same time many of the effects pre- 

 ceding the onset of the bad weather, as contrasted with those actually 

 undergone by other vessels at the same time, at no great distance from 

 them.
