Abstract
A YEAR ago (December 16, 1915) I asked readers of NATURE if they would let me know when they observed thunder or lightning during the first three months of the year. I made a similar request to the observers of the British Rainfall Organisation. The number of replies I received amounted to nearly one thousand, and the rather remarkable fact came to light that during the period in question thunder or lightning occurred somewhere in the British Isles on sixty-four out of the ninety-one days. So numerous were the replies received that I was unable to answer each one personally, but I wish to thank those correspondents who kindly sent information, and to assure them that every report was of value.
