Abstract
BEING much interested in the question of the distance of propagation of the sound of the firing of big guns, I should be much obliged to any readers of NATURE who could send me some personal observations on the matter, or let me know whether (and when and where) any notices on the subject have been published. Exact references are wanted, as I should try to get the papers containing the information. The gun-firing from the Belgian coast is probably heard in England at times. How far inland? All information will be gratefully received by me.
