Abstract
LAST year, in a letter to the Editor of this journal (vol. lxxxvii, p. 415), I wrote about the probable existence of “upper trade-winds,” according to the observation of some high balloon flights at Batavia.

Finally, I mentioned my intention of continuing these researches by means of large pilot-balloons.
