Mr. Rockhill (_Rubruck_, p. 245, note) writes: ‘Rashideddin states that
when the Urianghit wanted to bring a storm to an end, they said injuries
to the sky, the lightning and thunder. I have seen this done myself by
Mongol storm-dispellers. (See _Diary_, 201, 203.) “The other Mongol
people,” he adds, “do the contrary. When the storm rumbles, they remain
shut up in their huts, full of fear.” The subject of storm-making, and the
use of stones for that purpose, is fully discussed by Quatremre,
_Histoire_, 438-440.’ (Cf. also _Rockhill_, l.c. p. 254.)–H. C.]
