On appealing to Mr. H. A. Hunt, Commonwealth Meteorologist, Melbourne, he 
had the kindness to favour me (October, 1915), with the following information from 
his reports m regard to the damage, of meteorological origin, to forests in Australia. 
If observers will only have the goodness to supply such data to Mr. Hunt as they become 
available, we shall have a mass of information of increasing value to foresters. 
Occasional references to damage of the above nature are to be found in meteorological reports already 
published viz.: 
New South Wales Rain and River Observations (to 1902). 
... 1903-1908. 
Victorian Rain and River Observations 1840-1910. 
Queensland Rain and River Observations 1869-1913. 

With regard to the remaining States, no accounts of a similar nature have yet been published. 
The following list dealing with damage to trees, &c., is mainly abstracted from the Monthly Weather 
Reports which have been published for the years 1910-11-12.
