TYPE VIIIL—CYCLONES FROM NORTH-WEST. 
From time to time fully developed cyclonic storms appear on 
the north-west and west coasts of Australia, and in the Australian 
Bight, but the absence of observing stations in the unoccupied 
country which lies between the overland telegraph line and the 
west coast of Australia, makes it impossible to trace them over 
that part of the continent, but cyclones are well known on the 
northern coast of Western Australia, and their formation in the 
tropics equally well known. ‘There can therefore be no doubt 
that when we find a cyclone on the western coast of Australia 
or in the Australian Bight, that it is one which has come from 
the north-west, and is in fact recurving to the east and south-east 
as they do on the ‘east coast.

The one selected for Type 8 was picked up on the west coast of 
Australia in Latitude 28° on July 4th, 1892, (See Chart No. 17). 
The winds were light, but the rain heavy along the coast; an inert 
anticyclone rested over South Australia, Victoria, and New 
South Wales, where it was moving to the east and making 100 : 
for the approaching storm.
