ResumoAUSTRALASIA is more directly interested in a second outcome of the Lockyers' comparison of the rainfalls of India and Mauritius.Important meteorological events in India and Mauritius sometimes occur together, and at other times they occur a year apart.Thus the heavy rain- fall which occurs when the sun is hottest, occurs simultaneously in India and Mauritius ; but that maximum of rain which occurs at the minimum of solar intensity affects Mauritius a year earlier than it affects India.This fact the Lockyers explain by the probable assumption that the maximum of solar temperature affects the continental areas of Africa, Asia, and South America, directly, and thus India, the Cape, and Cordova in Argentina are influenced together.But the secondary maximum pro- duced at the period of solar cold, affects India and Mauritius indirectly, through changes which
