Abstract
REFERRING to the paragraph in your number of March 30, p. 433, and Mr. Lyall's letter, April 6, p. 488, on Mr. Napier's “Wind Direction Rain Gauge,” I beg to say that a gauge of a similar construction is in use at the Meteorological Observatory, Army Medical Department, Aldershot Camp. It was devised by the observer, Mr. John Arnold, A.H.C., F.M.S., about three years ago, so it would appear that the credit of the invention, if I may so term it, is due to no less than three parties, to each of whom I believe the matter was entirely original.
