Fromthe case of the trees which crossed, it may be inferred that themost northerly trees are those which fell first. The mean of themost northerly half is N. 14° E., of the others N. 57° E. On the other side of the track the phenomena were exceed-ingly different. Here we had no difficulty in finding trees whichlay across each other, and accordingly we measured few following observations were made, commencing near thecentre of the track and proceeding towards the northwest

The first mentioned tree in each group layat the bottom, the others above it in the order named. Five lay-ers were recorded in several instances. This was by no meansthe whole number which lay on top of each other. Frequentlyseveral trees lay nearly parallel with the one observed. The ob-servations are intended to include the whole range of directions. 35°
