Abstract
I AM glad to see (NATURE, vol. xxxiv. p. 461) that the Scottish Meteorological Society recognises the importance of the effect of wind upon the barometer. I assume that the gradient, the density, and all other sources of error had been fully corrected for before concluding the existence of the large effect attributed to the wind on Ben Nevis.
