COSMIC METEOROLOGY

Abstract

SEVERAL articles have appeared at different times under the title of “La Météorologie Cosmique,”from the pen of M. Faye: the last and most complete forms an exceedingly interesting “Notice Scientifique,” appended to the Annuaire of the Bureau des Longitudes for 1878. In this memoir, written with the usual clearness and talent of the distinguished French astronomer, a number of results connected with real or supposed solar, lunar, and planetary actions on our earth are examined and criticised. As M. Faye has omitted several facts of considerable importance in his “Notice,” and has misunderstood others, a reconsideration of some of the questions he has studied, with the additional light to be obtained from the facts alluded to, may not be without interest and use.
