Abstract
THE reduction of the barometric readings taken during the first year of Capt. Scott's Antarctic expedition has shown what I imagine to be an unprecedented rise of barometer from one month to the next. The mean barometer during November was higher than during October by 0·81 in. at Cape Evans, 0·80 in. at Cape Adare, and 0·87 in. at the Norwegian winter quarters. The rise continued into the next month, and the mean value at all three stations for December was approximately one inch higher than that for October.
