Abstract

In the paper on the International Geophysical Year by Sydney Chapman, published in the June 1959 issue of the Transactions, pages 112–119, a correction is to be noted on page 115, In the right‐hand column, third line above IGY Organization, it speaks about an eastward subeurrent “with a speed of about 25 miles per hour.” This speed should be 25 miles per day.In the December 1959 issue of the Transactions, page 368, in the news note concerning Facilities Atop Mount Washington, the statement is made that Gorham Laboratories of Gorham, Maine, operates the Mount Washington Observatory. Wallace E. Howell, President of Mount Washington Observatory, calls attention to the fact that Mount Washington is, and for more than 25 years has been, a non‐profit scientific institution “operated by a Board of Trustees on which Dartmouth College, the University of New Hampshire, and the Appalachian Mountain Club are represented, as well as approximately 2000 members whose annual dues help support the work and publications of the Observatory.” He points out that the Observatory has always been interested in making its facilities available to persons and institutions wishing to use the unique situation of Mount Washington for geophysical work Inquiries concerning this should be sent to Dr. Howell at 35 Moon Hill Road, Lexington 73, Massachusetts.
