Abstract
THE Chief Meteorological Officer, Royal Air Force, East Africa, has reported an interesting tidal irregularity observed by Captain A. Sauvage, port officer at Port Victoria, Mahé, Seychelles, on November 28,1945, at about 10 a.m. local time. It appears that while the normal water-level corresponding with the state of tide at this time was 1.5 in., the level observed at 9 hr. 47 min. a.m. was 12 in. The water then rose to 18 in. at 9 hr. 52 min., dropped to 0 at 10 hr. 5 min. and rose again to 14.5 in. at 10 hr. 13 min. a.m.
