[...] The remark of Mr. G. J. Symons in NATURE, December 26, that it seems to him “more likely that the effect of cyclone is simply to alter the locality of deposition " of rain, suggests a doubt whether the relation between rain and wind is sufficiently considered. The amount of evaporation must always be the [...]
