ultimo, and in reply to communicate for your information the annexed copy of a
letter from Lieutenant Montriou,in charge of the Observatory, dated the 29th idem
I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servant,
A. Malet, Chief Secretary,

No. 32 of 1847.
From Commander C. W. Montriou, I. N.,
In charge Observatory,
To Commodore Sir Robert Oliver, R. N.,
Superintendent Indian Navy.
Sir,— With reference to the memorandum No. 1455, of 1847, from the Assistant
Superintendent, dated September 23rd, 1847, enclosing a letter from Dr. Thom,
H. M. 86th Regiment, to the Military Secretary to Government, requesting that
the ranges of the Tide Gauges at Bombay, Aden, and Kurrachee, might be sent to
the Bombay Geographical Society, I have the honor to state that there is no Tide
Gauge in operation at Rurrachee. The ranges of the one at Aden are, I believe,
regularly transmitted every month from that place to the Bombay Geographical
Society. A note on the Tides at Bombay, from the 13th to the 23rd of April, was
sent by me to Dr. Thom.
There was a swell at the time of high water at Bombay from the 13th to the
2md of April last, which was the only peculiarity in the Tides indicated by our
Tide Gauge at the Observatory.
The Diagrams traced by the Tide Gauge at Aden, for the above month, shew
no change from the ordinary Tides.
I have the honor to be, &c.,
(Signed,) C. W. Montriou,
Commander I, N,, in charge Observatoiw
Observatory, Colaba, September 29th, 1847.
