Abstract
ANOTEWORTHY attack is made by Dr. V. H. Ryd, in the paper referred to below, on the problem of the circulation of the air in a cyclone, the source of the energy necessary for its maintenance, and the disposal of the rising ~air. The cyclone considered is necessarily “ideal,” with circular isobars, the pressure at any distance from the centre being determined by an arbitrary formula which gives good results for the body of the cyclone but causes a discontinuity at the boundary.
