Magnetic Storm, May 14, 1878

Abstract

I AM inclined, to think that Mr. Mance's observations (vol. xix. p. 148) upon the earth currents observed at Kurrachee must be incorrectly reported. To agree with the observations in China, Stonyhurst, Greenwich, and Haverfordwest, they should have commenced at 4 A.M. on May 15, and terminated at 5 P.M. on the same day (Kurrachee time).
