Abstract
THE magnetic storm which began on the morning of August 11 was one of the largest recorded in recent years, and was probably of world-wide distribution. It attracted public attention chiefly through the notable—though not unusual—extent to which it interfered with telegraphic work. On account of its somewhat exceptional features, the following statement of results of observations at Eskdalemuir Observatory may be of some interest, and is communicated by permission of the Director, Meteorological Office.
