Summary:

Consults JH before responding to Wilhelm Weber's proposal for publication of observations. ES proposes to publish German data with data from Toronto, St. Helena, the Cape, and Van Diemen's Land. The Physical Committee of the R.S.L. suggests strengthening Adolphe Quetelet's application to the Belgian government for magnetic observations. The Hammerfest [Norway] magnetic curve does not harmonize with European ones.
