Abstract
THE chief signal officer of the U.S. army has been urging that physical observations of the sun be made, as of sun-spots, faculæ, protuberances, &c., in reference to their supposed influence upon terrestrial meteorology, and has offered to publish the results monthly, or such of them as may be considered desirable by the observer, in the Monthly Weather Review. The United States Naval Observatory at Washington has already accepted this proposition, and it is considered very desirable that some other observatories in the east, and at least one on the western coast, co-operate in this undertaking.
