44 A Twentieth Memoir on the Law of Storms. [No. 8. 



Sitta. — Commenced N. E. then N. when at height; then W. then S. once 

 it blew a " bindal." 



Soonamooky. — Highest from the N. 



Cherulia. — Does not appear to have been visited, there was a light wind from 

 theft. 



Niamutpore. — Commenced E. not heavy until 1 p. m. when it blew from 

 the N. then W. and ceased at S. 



Cokerah. — Commenced at W. then to N. to S. W. then to S. (does not 

 appear to have been so heavy as in the Southern Thannahs). 



Sendpahani. — From W. then N. then S. (does not appear to have been heavy). 



Cosgaon. — Commenced N. E. then to N. when at its height, and blowing 

 sometimes from all quarters, then to W. and declined Southerly. 



Potena. — Commenced E. then N. when at its height, then E. 



The duration in all the Thannahs was from 3 a. m. to 8 p. m. 



The reports are all meagre, some of the Darogahs have been candid enough to 

 tell me they were afraid to stir out. 



From the above it would appear the centre was somewhere between Cosgaon 

 and Potena, travelling N. to the E. of Soonamooky, and passing between Kotul- 

 pore and Bishenpore close to the latter.

Particulars of the gale of the 27th April. 



At 4| a. m. it blew hard from N. E. by E. ; at noon S. E. ; at 6 p. m. 

 S. W. by S. and up to the hour when I retired {\0\), I could perceive no 

 farther change in its direction. Yesterday morning, the wind was Westerly. 

 and scarce amounted to a fresh breeze. During Saturday, the only lull I 

 noticed (and it was not very perceptible) was between 10 a. m. and noon, 

 Throughout the day it blew in gusts, but I fancy this is generally the case on 

 land, although my attention has not been given to the subject. It rained fre- 

 quently during the earlier part of the day, but there were no showers after one 

 or two o'clock.
