Abstract
Referring to a communication made by him to the Society on the 1st February 1841 (see Proceedings, page 322), the author reminded the Society that he had then endeavoured to account for certain anomalous facts observed by Dr Richardson, connected with solar radiation in the Polar Regions, by adverting to the intense radiating effect of a covering of snow. The disappearance of this snowy covering in the month of May, the author had observed to be synchronous with the anomalous diminution of solar radiation, ascertained by a blackened thermometer, in the months of June and July, compared with the months of April and May.
