Report on Atmospheric Waves. By Mr. Birt. The report consists of three parts:—The tirst denoting the information wenow possess relative to such waves as have been determiaed : the secondtreating of the barometric curves which result from the crossing of theEorth-westerly and south-westerly waves, the two principal systemscommon to Europe—the most prominent subject being that particularcurve known as the great symmetrical wave of November: and thethird embodying the results that have been obtained during the last yearillustrative of the symmetry of the great wave, more particularly thelocality of greatest symmetry and the departure from symmetry in certaindirections. Under the second head, the author has thrown together theresult of bis inquiries
