 menced at 1) from the N. E.

Barometrical Observations from Nursingpore in Central India, Lat. 

 22° 57' JST. ; Long. 79° 38' hearing about W. f 8. from Calcutta.*— 

 By C. G. E. Eobd, Esq. 



Some atmospkeric perturbation at this station appears to have preceded 

 the Cyclone in Calcutta, as the Barometers suffered some considerable 

 depression on the 12th and 13th, being at Noon on the 



11th 28.680 

 12th .685 

 13th .664 

 14th .651 

 15th .662 

 16th .671 



But we can scarcely suppose from the track of the storm that it was in 

 any way connected. To the Eastward on the Coast of Arracan the 

 Barometer does not appear to have been affected either before or during 

 the Cyclone. 



I now proceed to give as usual in these Memoirs, the comparative Tables 

 of wind and weather on the different days in which the Cyclone was felt 

 in various parts of the Bay and on its inland progress. 



* Its elevation above Calcutta, I am unable to give.
