Abstract
THE eleventh Annual Exhibition of the Royal Meteorological Society was held at the Institution of Civil Engineers on March 18 and three following days. Each Annual Exhibition is devoted to some special branch of meteorology, which is illustrated by specimens of all known instruments (or drawings and descriptions of the same) that have been employed in its investigation. This year's Exhibition was illustrative of the application of photography to meteorology. Photographic meteorological instruments are not numerous, and those used for recording the indications of the barometer, thermometer, and electrometer are very costly and delicate, and are only made to order. The number of instruments in the Exhibition was consequently less than in previous years, but this deficiency was fully made up by the large and highly interesting collection of photographs of meteorological phenomena.
