Abstract
THE survey of thunderstorms in the British Isles during the coming summer is to be continued and again the co-operation of readers of NATURE in the observational work is requested. Fuller details can be obtained from Mr. S. Morris Bower, Langley Terrace, Oakes, Huddersfield. The census has recently been extended into the winter months in order to bring the whiter data, collected between 1925 and 1929, more nearly up to the standard of the summer survey, and also to make special reports on individual storms available for insurance and other purposes throughout the year. The lightning damage survey has been commenced in some parts of the country, and it is intended to build up this work gradually: sections of maps, on the scale of two miles to the inch, are issued to observers, who are invited to record local positions of damage.
