Abstract
WE are again enabled, through the courtesy of Gen Myer, of Washington, to present our readers with two Weather Maps of the War Department of the United States, which graphically present the mean pressure and temperature for the whole of the Northern Hemisphere of the earth for April, 1878, and the tracks of the centres of storms for the same month. As these maps are constructed from the observations of all the stations reporting to the Army Signal Service, they must be held as very accurately representing the meteorology of the period, and they may serve to show the extraordinary energy with which this well-directed meteorological system is. conducted and turned to account in the interests of the public and of science.
