were actually in the focus it was found to be at 28*08 : but as this
instrument was known to have had a difference of from *06 to *08
above the broken barometers, the maximum depression may be esti
mated at 28*00 inches. While this was the case near the middle of
the storm, at the distance of 600 or 800 miles towards the circumference
the Barometer was up to 30*00,—at Madras on one side, and in
Lat 6 7 S., Long. 56° 5S / E., {Zemindar's position) on the other.
The following table, compiled, with some difficulty, and from the
readings of instruments of the relative standards of which we have
no knowledge, give a tolerably correct idea of the level of the
mercury at intermediate distances, from the ordinary pressure at the
extreme towards the centre of greatest depression.
