| Title | Manuscript, 'Preliminary results of a comparison of certain simultaneous fluctuations of the declination at Kew and at Stonyhurst during the years 1883 and 1884, as recorded by the magnetographs at these observatories' by Stephen Joseph Perry and Balfour Stewart |
| Date | 1885 |
| Description | Perry and Stewart write: 'From a comparison made by Messrs. Sidgreaves and Stewart (“ Proc. Roy. Soc.,” October, 1868), between a few prominent simultaneous changes of declination at Kew and at Stonyhurst, it appeared that the ratio between the magnitudes of such changes was not constant, but depended to some extent upon the abruptness of the disturbance.'
