Abstract
IN a note in NATURE of May 12, p. 42, it was stated that the quantity of snow which fell in Central Germany from December 19 to 23, between 50° and 52°.5 N. latitude, and between 7° and 18° E. longitude, weighed no less than 10,000,000 tons. I think there is a mistake in the calculation. Supposing that the snow was equivalent only to a stratum of water of 5 centimetres in height, its weight would be not 10,000,000, but 10,000,000,000 tons.
