INSTANCES OF FISHES FALLINGS FROM THE CLOUDS IN INDIA. 



(From the Bombay Times, 1856.) 

 See Page 343. 



The late Dr. Buist, after enumerating cases in which fishes 

 were said to have been thrown out from volcanoes in South 

 America and precipitated from clouds in various parts of the 

 world, adduced the following instances of similar occurrences 

 in India. "In 1824," he says, " fishes fell at Meerut, on the 

 men of Her Majesty's 14th Eegiment, then out at drill, and 

 were caught in numbers. In July, 1826, live fish were seen 

 to fall on the grass at Moradabad during a storm. They were 

 the common cyprinus, so prevalent in our Indian waters. On 

 the 19th of February, 1830, at noon, a heavy fall of fish 

 occurred at the Nokulhatty factory, in the Daccah zillahj
