the effect of the Indian mountain range9 on the configuration 
of the ieohara in India especia1ly during the rnonmon. ]In the 
courscl of tbcl explanation he ha. h~ougbt in Jomc nca  paints 
which one finds it dacutt to accept. Theae points are :- 
(I)  Earth% station by itadf is able to cause wind in the 
presence of barriers, 
(2) The wind velocities and directions as observed by us 
are those witb respect t a  axes inshntanmuely fixed in space, 
(3) In steady air motion, the isobar8 coincide with the 
stream lines drawn with respect to instantaneously fixed axee. 
These points will be discussed seriatim. 
(1) Earth's robtion bg  ihclf i s  able fa cause wind in the 
presence of barriers. 
That this is the view put forward by Dr. Baneji (without 
pmof) is clear from his two papers '* ?; for example on p. 792
