Abstract
THE magnetographs at the Kew Observatory were a little disturbed from about 11 p.m. of the 13th inst. to 7 p.m. of the 14th inst. During the 15th they were quiet, and remained so up to 11.45 p.m. of the 16th, when the disturbance began by an increase of the declination, an augmentation of the horizontal force, and a diminution of the vertical force. The movements of the declinometer became gradually more rapid after 2 a.m. on the 17th, whilst its oscillations extended farther and farther from its normal position principally in the direction of increased westerly declination.
