Is grateful for his valuable remarks on the various projections of the sphere. Thinks the projection devised by JH to be well suited for isothermal lines. Has constructed a chart of the polar regions for the same purpose. Will try JH's projection.
Glad to know which of ES's papers JH has. Sends another along with maps from [Keith] Johnson's Physical Atlas. Discusses JH's ideas regarding relationship between solar spots and magnetic disturbances.
Mentions [P.] Plantamour's memoir on barometer and a criticism by Mr. Dilams[?]. Comprehending why variations of magnetic disturbances correspond in period with terrestrial year is difficult.
