TitlePaper, 'Note on a series of barometrical disturbances which passed over Europe between the 27th and the 31st of August, 1883' by Robert H [Henry] Scott
Date1883
DescriptionScott writes: 'The occurrence of sudden temporary derangements of atmospheric pressure has been occasionally noticed at all observatories provided with barographs, either mechanical or photographic. Among the most remarkable of these which have been recorded in these islands have been that of January 16, 1869, which appeared at Aberdeen, and to a less extent at Glasgow, and that of January 30, 1876, which was noticed chiefly at Armagh and Aberdeen, and was described by me in a note published by the Meteorological Society (“Quarterly Journal,” vol. iv, p. 73).'

Annotations in pencil and ink. Note on front reads 'Communicated by desire of the Council.'
