Abstract
THE general interest in scientific kite-flying leads me to send the following account of a flight here on September 19, when meteorological records were brought down from the greatest height which it is believed a kite has yet attained. The experiment was part of an investigation into the meteorological conditions of the free air now in progress here, and which is aided by a grant from the Hodgkins Fund of the Smithsonian Institution.
