Abstract
THE following questions suggest themselves in connection with the above matter:—(1) Is it a fact that atmospheric movements of such small amplitude take the form of waves, and, if so, that the waves have so slow a rate of travel? (2) How is it to be accounted for that the waves travel eastward more slowly than westward? And (3) How can it be explained that they appear at an eastward station with a greater amplitude than at a westward?
