Abstract
THE Royal Meteorological Society's tenth annual Exhibition of Instruments was held in the rooms of the Institution of Civil Engineers, 25 Great George Street, Westminster, from the 19th to the 22nd instant. This Society's Exhibitions are always, interesting and instructive, as each one is devoted to some special class of instruments: this year the instruments consisted principally of actinometers and solar radiation apparatus. Specimens of most of the various forms of these instruments, were exhibited; but when it was not possible to obtain an instrument itself, a photograph or drawing of it was shown, so that the visitors to the Exhibition could readily see what instruments have actually been made.
