Abstract
I HAVE during the past six months been led from the study of our own atmosphere to consider certain phenomena relating on the one hand to the solar atmo-physics, and on the other hand to the evolution of our own globe and its atmosphere. There has thus arisen in my mind a system of cosmogony which has led me, quite independent of Mr. Norman Lockyer's published course of reasoning, back to a meteoric theory that will, I hope, be acceptable to yourself and others. Awaiting the preparation of these views for publication, I have had occasion to look over the report on the total eclipse of the sun, July 1878 (Professional Papers of the Signal Service, No. 1, Washington, 1881). I quote from pp. 49 and 50 some paragraphs to show the connection between views then held and those at which I have recently arrived.
