Abstract

In a paper published in this Journal on the subject, Saha (1968) has made various statements which would not appear tenable in the light of facts of topography and climatology as well as of observations on 7 July, 1963, the day selected by him for his study. It is proposed to draw attention in this note to some of the important points.
