Abstract
AT the International Meteorological Congress to be held in Paris, a number of questions of special interest to magneticians have been proposed for discussion, among which is the following:ββThe same notation should be generally employed, H for horizontal force, X for the northern component, Y for the western component, Z for the vertical force, and V for the potential.β As the need of some uniform notation has been made apparent to me in connection with the journal Terrestrial Magnetism, I have been paying this matter some attention with the view of obtaining a concise and logical system for adoption in that journal.
