Scientific paper

IN a recent article on the ``Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves by Atmospheric Turbulence''1, Dr. E. C. S. Megaw points out that a study of the scintillation of stars is also a study of the average properties of turbulence in the atmosphere. He reviews the rather scanty observational data that are available on the subject. It is in this connexion that some records of stellar scintillation, that have been made recently with a photo-cell at Dunsink Observatory, and which extend the observed upper frequency-limit of the light fluctuations to about 500 cycles a second, may be of interest.
