Abstract
IN an article printed in NATURE (vol. xix., pp. 588–90) I gave a table of the prices of wheat at Delhi, from 1763 to 1835, quoted, or rather calculated from data given in a brief paper of the Rev. Robert Everest, contained in the Journal of the (London) Statistical Society for 1843, vol. vi. pp. 246–8. Between the years 1763 and 1803 there was evidence of wonderful periodicity in the recurrent famine and abundance at that part of India. When recently engaged in examining more minutely the relation between these prices and the variations of solar activity, as indicated by Prof. Wolf's numbers, it has occurred to me that an inference may be drawn which I overlooked on the previous occasion.
