DURING the last ten years, investigations based upon the mathematical theories of Eccles and Larmor have given considerable information regarding the reflecting layers of the atmosphere. The most interesting discovery was that of Prof. E. V. Appleton, who showed that there is an upper reflecting region in addition to the Kennelly-Heaviside layer.
