Abstract
IN NATURE of January 23 there is an interesting illustration of the Severn Bore, as photographed by Dr. Vaughan Cornish. If I understand the note rightly, the bore took a little more than a minute to travel 500 yards, and this gives a rate of almost exactly seventeen miles an hour at the given locality.
