Abstract

ON turning over this packet of the latest official publications on meteorology I feel disposed to survey them in a contemplative rather than in a critical attitude. They fall into two groups. The Catalogue of Meteorology in the Science Museum reviews the present in the light of the past, and the various publications of the Meteorological Office of the Air Ministry deal with the present in anticipation of a greater future.
