Abstract
THE introduction tells us that this is the first of a series of volumes to be published dealing with the researches of the department of terrestrial magnetism of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, founded in April, 1904. These volumes, while principally on terrestrial magnetism, will contain memoirs on allied subjects, such as atmospheric electricity. The present volume treats of all the magnetic observations made on land by the department from the beginning of its observational work in 1905 up to the end of 1910. These observations are directed towards the accomplishment of one of the principal objects which the department has in view, viz. the acquisition of the data necessary for a general magnetic survey of the earth.
