Assuming that there is a sun-spot periodicity, in the course of which the sun undergoes a variation with respect to heat or some other form of energy, we should expect to find a corresponding variation in the state of our atmosphere. With this idea, it was some time ago determined to discuss the cyclones that had occurred during the last twenty-five years in the Southern Indian Ocean, and it was found, what had been often' surmised, that they were more frequent and more violent in the maxima than in the minima sunspot years.
