Report of the Kew Committee for the Year ending 

 October 31, 1875. 



Magnetic Work. — The year has been marked by the recommencement 

 of regular work with the Magnetographs, which had been taken down 

 for examination and repair by Mr. Adie, as described in the last Eeport. 

 The scale-values having been redetermined, the instruments were set 

 in action on the 1st of January, 1875, and therewith the second series 

 of continuous photographic records of magnetic phenomena was inau- 

 gurated. 



The monthly observations with the absolute instruments have been 

 continued, as usual, by Mr. Gr. M. Whipple, who also takes charge of the 

 general magnetic work, in which he has had the assistance of Mr. 

 Cullum and F. Figg. The two Sergeants of the Royal Artillery, 

 formerly in Sir E. Sabine's office at "Woolwich, have been in regular 

 attendance at Kew throughout the 3 r ear.
