Abstract
M. DURUOF, the French aëronaut, has just completed a series of three ascents executed from Pau, for the purpose of studying the state of the atmosphere during the recent cold season. Thrice M. Duruof started with a north wind at the surface of the earth, and thrice he was able to find an upper current blowing from the south. The last time he started at 1.30 P.M., travelled upward until 2.30 P.M., moving southwards, when having reached a higher level he was carried northwards. He landed safely at 4 P.M. in the department of Gers.
