Abstract
MR. EVERSHED'S description in NATURE of December 22, p. 902, of a sound emanating from a thunder-cloud before the storm begins is new to me: I did not hear such a sound in Simla, nor have I come across a reference to this phenomenon in the large literature on thunderstorms. I see no reason to doubt the correctness of the observation, but whether the sound has its origin in the electricity, the rain or the wind which accompanies a thunderstorm, I am unable to say, and do not wish to guess for fear of starting another long discussion in NATURE.
