Abstract
IN the note on Mr. C. J. P. Cave's presidential address to the Royal Meteorological Society (NATURE, January 31, p. 168) Mr. Cave is quoted as saying: “It is true that there is the Meteorological Office, but its position at the present time is an unfortunate one; its future is uncertain. In the past the Meteorological Office was directly under the Meteorological Committee, which administered a Government grant. Soon after the War, the Office was placed under the Air Ministry. It seems a grave anomaly that the Meteorological Office, which deals with problems of the greatest importance to many Government departments and to many public bodies, should be solely under the direction of the Air Ministry, more especially when there is in the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research a very suitable body under which it might have been placed”.
