Abstract
IN the instructive paper on solar and meteorological changes in NATURE (May 7), I observe that Dr. Lockyer suggests 1913 as probably about the centre of the next wet period. A consideration of barometric changes appears to lead to a similar result, and I may be permitted to recall a letter sent you in 1898 (NATURE, December 22, p. 175), in which, discussing with such data the question, “Where do we stand in Brückner's cycle?” I mentioned 1911 as probably near that centre. Such estimates must, of course, be regarded as merely approximate, and open to revision.
