On the law of storms in the Pacific and high southern latitudes.

The importance of a practical knowledge of the law of great storms has induced me to draw up a brief exposition of their most striking phenomena. In bringing this subject under the notice of the Royal Society of Van Diemen's Land, I am not without a hope of securing the co-operation of its members in the desirable attempt to develop the law of the progressive motion of the storms of the Pacific Ocean, and of those of high southern latitudes.
