Abstract
UNTIL Messrs. Campbell and Wood give us some more definite information as to the magnitude of the daily variation which they have found in the natural ionisation of air in closed vessels (NATURE, April 19, vol. lxxiii., p. 583), it is somewhat premature to go into a detailed discussion as to how this discovery will affect theories of atmospheric electricity. Still, the letter in NATURE of April 26 (vol. lxxiii., p. 607) on this question from Dr. O. W. Richardson calls for some remarks.
