Abstract
CYCLONES are commonly regarded as exceptional phenomena of the atmospheric circulation; and we see in text-books statements as to the seasons of the year at which they are most apt to occur, descriptions of the premonitory signs which herald their approach, and directions to aid ships in avoiding the most dangerous portions of the storm-field. In short, each cyclone is regarded as an exceptional fact, an isolated burst of fury from the old storm-god Hurakan.
