Abstract
THE experiment of flying kites in calm weather from the deck of a moving tug-boat, which was mentioned in NATURE of September 5 (p. 453), was continued by my assistant, Mr. Sweetland, and myself on a steamship that performed the voyage from Boston to Liverpool between August 28 and September 5. Flights were made on five days, the greatest height reached by the meteorograph being one-third of a mile, and the records of barometric pressure, air-temperature, relative humidity and wind-velocity, which are probably the first to be obtained above the North Atlantic, were shown to Section E of the British Association at Glasgow.
