Abstract
I AM not aware if it has ever been suggested, in explanation of the frequent (or rather, usual) incompleteness of cyclonic disturbances, that the axis of the cyclone may be inclined, and consequently only one side of the disturbance affect the earth's surface, the other half being at a greater or less elevation, according to the amount of the inclination, and thus (so far as wind currents are concerned at least) lost to us.
