Regarding the revision of the instructions for the magnetic observatories.
Thinks it necessary to revise the instructions for the magnetic observations. Makes some suggestions for the Report of the Committee.
Has just received JH's circular. Was not fully aware of the labor involved in drawing up the Report of the Council. Needs a new edition of the part concerning the fixed observatories. Outlines method for new edition. Sabine should be responsible for the material on Magnetic Surveys.
