Abstract
EARLY this morning a storm broke in this neighbourhood accompanied by heavy thunder. During the storm I noticed that two of the peals began with a musical note of distinct and definite pitch. The “musical” portion of the peal lasted for about two seconds in each case, and the frequency of the note was both times about 400 per second.
