Abstract
IN NATURE of Nov. 3 there is a letter by Prof. Størmer which I find exceedingly interesting. Although I have never observed the short wave echoes of 3 to 15 seconds' delay reported by him, I have other observations which bear closely on this matter and seem to afford a striking confirmation of his conclusions. These observations refer to a peculiar class of atmospheric, which from their musical nature are appropriately termed ‘whistlers.’
