Scientific paper

As my final note on Dr. Chree's letter in NATURE of July 22 and Mr. Buss's of July 29 may I remark that, so far as I am aware, there is no rule, ``One spot, one storm'' ? On the contrary, a disturbed area of the sun's surface may be connected with a series of successive, or intermittent disturbances, as it is carried round by the sun's rotation. When the same region reappears at the next synodical rotation, and sometimes, if it survives as an active region, for several synodical rotations, it will continue to be associated with a series of magnetic disturbances at each rotation. For instance, in 1898, January 11 to July 31, a disturbed region of the sun, which subsisted during eight rotations, was associated with not one only, but with several magnetic storms, at each successive reappearance. Nor is the selection of such a region arbitrary, when there happen to be several other disturbances at the same time on the sun. The selection is conditioned by the activity of the region, and by its position relatively to the position of the earth, when projected on the sun. So far as I am aware, mere statistical enumerations of sun-spots, or total areas of sun-spots, and their relations to magnetic storms, take no account of these important considerations.
