Abstract
I Do not want to pose as a statistical cycle-hunter, or to bolster up any mere apparent local periodicity of a certain meteorological element, but I wish to place before your readers the appended independent paragraphs from two journals, one on each side of the Atlantic, and to ask any unprejudiced person if we have not here some preliminary evidence (all the more valuable from its being so evidently incidental and unconscious) in favour of the march of certain secular weather areas, possibly connected with barometric waves, similar to those traced out by Messrs. Chambers and Pearson in India, across the Atlantic, from America to Europe.
