Abstract
THE director and staff of the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism of the Carnegie Institution of Washington have of late years given much attention to atmospheric electricity, and have published several conclusions of much interest, the evidence for which is contained in the volume before us. Thus, although it includes a variety of other interesting matter—magnetic, meteorological, and instrumental—we shall confine our present remarks to the subject of the potential gradient of atmospheric electricity, a subject dealt with by Messrs Bauer, Ault, and Mauchly, especially the last mentioned.
