Abstract
AT the meeting of the British Association in Leicester a number of papers were read on September 12 in Section At (Department of Cosmical Physics) relating to different aspects of the problem of condensation of water in the atmosphere. Dr. G. C. Simpson, in his opening remarks, dealt mainly with the question of the size-distribution of droplets in cloud, fog and rain. A number of workers, notably Defant, Kohler and Niederdorfer, claim to have shown that the volume of droplets in the atmosphere are most frequently integral multiples of some standard minimum size. Kohler also states that the chloride concentrations of samples of cloud or rain water are all integral multiples of the smallest concentration ever found in such water.
