Abstract
Zeitschrift der Oesterreichischen Gesellschaft für Meteorologie, April.—This number contains an article by Signor Denza, director of the Observatory at Moncalieri, on an inspection by him of observatories of the second order, according to the recommendations of the Leipzig and Vienna Conferences, for the correction of barometers. He has found that a safe verification can only be made when all the rules and precautions are observed, and recommends that the barometer taken in travelling from place to place should not be too narrow in bore, and should be carefully compared with the standard before and after the journey.—The next article is by Dr. Hann, on the results of observations made by the Swedish Arctic Expedition of 1872 in Spitzbergen and East Greenland, published in Stockholm. The observations are of great value, and deserve the full notice here given them by Dr. Hann.
