REPOETS ON THE STATE OF SCIENCE. — 1915. 



Investigation of the Upper Atmosphere. — Fourteenth Report of 

 the Committee, consisting of Sir Napiee Shaw (Chairman), 

 Mr. E. Gold (Secretary), Messrs. C. J. P. Cave and W. H. 

 Dines, Dr. E. T. Glazebeook, Sir J. Laemoe, Professor 

 J. E. Petavel, Dr. A. Schustee, and Dr. W. Watson. 

 (Drawn up hy the Secretary.) 



The Committee has not met during the past year and no expendi- 

 ture has been incurred. There is no inimediate prospect of further 

 research, but it is desirable that the Committee should not lapse; a 

 report on the investigations over the ocean, made in July 1914, is not 

 yet completed; and further investigations ought to be made when 

 arrangements can be made for them. It is therefore recommended 

 that tlie Committee be reappointed with a grant of 251. Last year's 

 grant of 251. has not been claimed.
