HALLEY'S comet has been a source of interest to magneticians as well as to astronomers. The question was: Would the proximity of the comet's tail occasion a magnetic storm or would it not? If the tail consists of electrified particles, and if it were to envelop the earth, then a magnetic storm appeared a reasonable concomitant. It was thus with some expectancy that I consulted the magnetic curves recorded at Kew on May 19. The conclusion that will be drawn from these and similar records will, I suspect, depend somewhat on the temperament of the inquirer. A large magnetic storm unquestionably there was not, but there was disturbance.
