In a previous communication to the Society we gave the results of a preliminary survey of the behaviour of the short-period barometric variation over many areas on the earth’s surface. The very close association of rainfall with pressure has led to an enquiry into the variation of the former in relation to this latter change; this investigation is still in progress. The recent publication, July 18, 1904, of a memorandum to the Thames Conservators on the "Rainfall and Floods in the Basin of the River Thames above Teddington Weir" since the year 1883, and a previous report on "The Shrinkage of the Thames and Lea,” published by the London County Council in 1903, present data the discussion of which, although belonging to the general investigation to which reference has just been made, forms rather a subject for special enquiry and makes a reference to it desirable at the present time.
