Abstract
THE Meteorological Reporter of the Bombay Presidency, Mr. F. Chambers, at the end of his recently-published report for 1877-78 gives us the first results of some important researches which he has not yet been able to complete, owing to want of clerical assistance. In a brief sketch of the meteorology of the Bombay Presidency in 1876 prepared for the Bombay Administration Report for 1876-77, he showed that the abnormal meteorological conditions which produced the famine of 1877 were of the same type as those which produce the usual alternations of seasons, and therefore are attributable to similar causes.
