Abstract
UNTIL within the last two or three years, the advances made in our knowledge of atmospheric electricity were mainly due to the investigation of the electric field of the earth. An interesting summary of the facts brought to light by such investigations will be found in a paper by Exner in “Terrestrial Magnetism and Atmospheric Electricity” (vols. v., p. 167, and vi., p. 1).
