Regarding gales of wind and their relation to violent changes in barometric pressure.
Regarding the doubtful actions of a Lieut. R. J. Morrison falsely obtaining names purporting to support his scheme for observations. Intends to lay the matter before William Parsons [3rd Earl of Rosse].
Notes that JH had pointed out the perpendicularity of the direction of wind to the direction of a wavefront's advance. Encourages research on the causes of such meteorological phenomena.
