Abstract
PROF. G. H. DARWIN, in NATURE for October 31, p. 650, asks for information as to the “Barisàl guns.” The name is derived from Barisàl or Burrisal, a town in the eastern part of the Gangetic delta, and the best and most recent account of the sounds known as the “Barisàl guns” is to be found in the report of a sub-committee of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, published in the Proceedings of that Society for 1889, p. 199.
