The Fog Beport. — Dr. Oliver read a report as to the scheme 

 proposed at the preliminary meeting. A discussion followed as 

 to the methods to be adopted, and it was suggested (1) that Dr. 

 Oliver should confer with Mr. Veitch as to the setting up of a 

 pump at Chelsea for collecting fog particles ; (2) that the 

 Meteorological Society should be asked to lend a pump already 

 used for the purpose ; (3) to consult with Dr. Russell as to the 

 construction of an absorbent apparatus ; and (4) that a duplicate 

 chamber with niters should be prepared for use at Kew. It was 

 also proposed to reissue circulars with an additional request as 

 to the opacity of the fogs experienced.
