A SMALL portion of that most interesting field of research again dealt with in NATURE (vol. xlix. p. 503), perhaps requires to be trodden with caution. Of course all a priori reasoning as to probabilities of a connection between solar physics and the occurrence of thunderstorms may be laid aside, and it does not seem that writers on the subject have fallen into that kind of anti-scientific error. At the same time, we readily admit that a connection between solar activity and thunderstorm phenomena exists. But having devoted a little time to the consideration of the question, I may be permitted to make a remark. In the first place, so far as our observations at present extend, it is quite impossible to find a distinct relation of time between prevalence of thunderstorms over our planet and solar periodicities. In the second place, thunderstorms have been classified, and much require further classification (to which, by the way, I am just about to contribute a few results of study). Artificial or conventional classification would by no means be an object of pursuit to Dr. Veeder. Natural classification does not seem to bring us now at all near to the connection which we might anticipate. In fact, it seems to me that in reference to the thurderstorms mentioned in NATURE for March 29, 1894, natural classification leads us away from the connection.
