Abstract
I HAVE read with much interest Dr. Meldrum's paper on Sun-spots, and Rainfall in NATURE (vol. xvii. p. 448), particularly that part of it in which Dr. Hunter's method of discussing the rainfall of Madras is criticised, and a method of inquiry in sun-spot researches is proposed. This method is, so far as I am aware, a new one, and as such, is deserving of careful examination as to how far it is applicable to the data submitted for discussion.
