Abstract
IN NATURE, vol. xxvii. p. 535, Lord Rayleigh gives what he suggests as a possible explanation of the soaring of “pelicans and other large birds in Assam” mentioned by Mr. S. E. Peal. My own observations correspond so exactly with the theory advanced that I venture to give them for whatever they may be worth.
