meteorological observations, at Highfield, near Nottingham, has recently purchased the Shire newton estate, near Chepstow; and being con- vinced of the real importance of establishing an observatory which may be carried on through future years without interruption, he has gener- ously offered to present the whole of bis valuable collection of meteorological instruments, together with his books and papers, towards the establishment of such a permanent obser. vatory, for which he also offers to give the site, together with such stone and lime as may be required for the erection of the necessary build ings, provided a sufficient sum can be raised in the district to build the same, and to provide a small endowment towards the maintenance of a limited staff of assistants, who would, in the first instance, be under his gratuitous guidance and supervision. Previous to making this offer pub- licly known, Mr. Lowe conferred with the Meteorological Department of the Treasury, by whom Mr. Scott, F.R.S. (the Director of the Department), was sent down, and his report was in every way most favourable, both as to the great utility and importance of the scheme, and also as to the admirable site which Mr. Lowe proposed to offer. In the present transition state of the study of meteorology towards an exact science, it is all important to establish some one or more permanent observatories where the barometrical and other waves may be carefully watched, especially the Atlantic waves, when they first reach the shore, and before they become more or less disguised by moving across Great Britain; for it becomes a question of importance how far the various conditions of such atmos- pheric waves become changed after passing across the Atlantic, during their transit over an un- broken expanse of water.
