✦ Synopsis

The rapid growth of the movement for international co6peration in investigation in terrestrial magnetism and electricity is well demonstrated by the large number of contributions recorded in this bulletin, made by leading authorities in these subjects, from every quarter of the world. Besides a full report of the proceedings and minutes of this meeting, reports and communications on numerous phases of these subjects are included. The subject matter has been edited by Mr. J. A. Fleming, Assistant Director of the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism of the Carnegie Institution of Washington and General Secretary of the American Geophysical Union, Mr. Louis A. Bauer who was secretary at the Prague meeting and at the close of the session elected President of the section, being unable through illness to perform this task as originally contemplated. To the constantly increasing number of men of science who are interested in terrestrial and even cosmic electrical and magnetic phenomena this collection of reports on recent research in these subjects should prove of rare value and interest.
