A study of the hygrometric action of glaclem on the atmosphere and vice versa. Con- clusion% (1) With air having a vapor pressure less than 4.6 millimeters condensation or eva ration will take lace at the surface of the glacier according to the relativc pressures of t% water vapor otthe air and that of the ice. These actions tend to counterl,alance ewh other. (2) Condensation takes lace wheneverthe atmospheric vapor pressure is abuve 4.6 millimeters. (8) The total res& of condensation aud evaporatiou must l e very niuch i n favor of the latter. (4 ) The lacier by these counteracting lIIflllenCI3R tends to restorr the pressure ofthe water vaporso the air to 4.6 milljineters e y e t i n the case of conden- sation at temperatures lower than zero. (5) Since,ln the f a t d e s studied the averagc hygrometric ca acity of the air is above 4.6 millimetern pressure, the glaei& eremiaes a very powerful &yinginfluence on the atmos here. (6 ) Condensation tends to preveut the estenslon of the glaeier owing to the heat wfich it frees.

The inonthly evaporation during lRlj9 fmnu soil of ditlerent de ths is calculated from the difference between the amount of r ~i n f i l l and the amount artificfallv drained off the latter amount heing at least partially corrwted by a periodic determinatlh of the moisture con- tent of the soil.

The fart that the sea water nf the Southern Hemisphere contains innre balt than that of the Northeru is sop wed to be due to the greater evaporation in the former caused by the snutheaat trade winis blowing: over a greatrr espanse of water than the nbrtheast. It Is rnmpnted that 1RR.340 cubic nillea of water are evaporated (annually ?) from the surface ot
the globe, chiefly froin intlatro~~lrnl seiis. This would cause a lowerlng of the sea level by 5 fcet annually. The equilibriiim in these seacl, thus disturbed, is restored Iiy means of mrreuts.

Reply t o On Evaporation of Water, by Henry Hudson in Symonss
-. -.
The followin statemeuts mode in 3 previous article IS70 are reaffirmed:  When the air is saturatefaith molstuk and the water is ofthe aahe tehperature as the air. neither eravoration nor condensation can take place.  Esuept as it a t k t s the dew-point, It is a matter of little come uence whether the air is saturated or not; other circumstancei being the same it is the di%erence between the temperature of the water and that of the dew- point wh:ch determines the amoiint both of evaporation and condensation. The authors experiments with the wet- and dry-bulb thermometera i n obtainin the dew-point lead him to think that they can never give more than an approximation k the moisture in the atmos here Hudsons conclusion that water may evaporate at a temperature several de- grees fklow the dew-point when the air is nearly saturated Is refuted.
