ion was a considerably less active feature, but on the other hand 
the monsoonal dip was somewhat more pronounced, and possessed 
two instead of one isobar. Following the 19th, the chart of 20th 
revealed no sign of the monsoonal tongue, and the continent was 
covered with a high pressure of very slight energy.

TYPE Ill.—DEVELOPMENT OF A CYCLONIC STORM IN LOW LATITUDES 
FROM A MONSOONAL DEPRESSION. 2 
In Type No. 3 we have the development of a cyclonic aie 
out of a monsoonal depression. The seasonal peculiarity of he 
phase of the tropical low pressure is similar to that in Type No- - , 
. The cyclone seems to develop when the southern extension of the 
monsoon is out of proportion to its width, and it become me 
narrow at one part of it that the opposing winds which circulate ie 
round it interfere, set up the cyclonic circulation, and it a | 
progresses eastward as a rain storm. (See Charts 6 and 7.) 
These storms frequently develop in South-east Queenslansh 
and they are generally most severe there; the quantity of ee 
which sometimes comes with them is very remarkable, as in 
case of the phenomenal fiood in Brisbane in 1893, which wa - 
result of one of these storms.
