JH is premature in concluding that international meeting of magnetic researchers would result in appeal to British government for funds to continue B.A.A.S. observatories beyond 1845. ES has not reviewed later observations [1842-43] and cannot judge whether observations have met original goals of R.S.L. and B.A.A.S. Agreement by Robert Peel and F. I. Brunnov on need for longer period of observations. Affirms value of JH's role in evaluating results of survey.
