Abstract
A CONNECTION between these phenomena has been repeatedly suggested. J. W. Ritter has articles on the subject in Gilbert's Annalen (1803 and 1804), and Kupffer has a long one in 1827. Other writers who have dealt with it or with the connection, between auroræ and atmospheric electricity generally are Schüble (1817), R. Phillips (1854), F. Dellmann (1860), E. Loomis (1860, 1861, and 1862), A. Poey (1861), A. De la Rive, F. Abbott (1863), E. Edlund; and in NATURE, vol. xii. p. 127, there is a summary of the observations by Herr von Bezold. This may serve as a partial answer at the end of Mr. Chadbourn's letter.
