Abstract
THE recently founded Institute of Navigation, the headquarters of which for the present are at the Royal Geographical Society, Kensington Gore, London, S.W.7, has issued the first number of its quarterly Journal (London : J. Murray. 25s. per annum). The object of the Institute is to unite those interested in the science and art of navigation, both by sea and in the air. Fellows are those who are either professional navigators or who have made outstanding contributions to the science of navigation ; members are those who are generally interested. . The Astronomer Royal is president of the Institute, and he has contributed to the new Journal an introductory address on the development of navigation. Other articles are on radio aids to navigation, consol, pressure pattern flying and many other topics. The new ocean weather service also finds a place : its ships, equipment and tasks are explained. The Journal promises to be a useful addition to the list of scientific periodicals.
