Abstract
THE question of the incurvature of the winds in tropical cyclones is one of such importance to mariners, to enable them to judge their position in a storm, and to escape the hurricane around the central calm, that no apology is needed for adding my independent testimony to that of Prof. Loomis, whose conclusions, given at length in his recent well-known memoir, “Contributions to Meteorology,” are quoted in Mr. Douglas Archibald's paper on M. Faye's work “Sur les Tempetes” in last week's NATURE (p. 149).
