Secretary of State, transmitting a communication
from Her Britannia Majestys Charge d Affaires in
this city, and printed volume relative to the CO.
operation of the Government of the United States
with that of Her Britannia Majesty, in carrying out
plan which it has adopted for the taking of uni
form meteorological observations at foreign sta
tons.
To enable me to state more fully the extent to
which the Navy is prepared to unite in the pro-
posed cooperation, than my recent connection with
this Bureau enabled me to do from persona! know
ledge, letter was addressed to the Superinten-
dent of the Observatory copy of this letter,
and of Lieut. Maury's reply, are herewith enclosed.
With the set of Wind and Current Charts, and
explanations of them, which have been furnished
by Lieut.. Maury, forward Professor Espy's Third
Report on Meteorologv, and communication re-
ceived from Professor Henry, of the Smithsonian
Institute, on the same subject. bog
Collectively, they show the general character
and extent of the meteorological observations
which have been made in the United States and
the practical and useful application which has been
made of these observations, that have been collect
ed under the direction of the Navy Department
The transmission these, for the inspection of the
officers of Her Britannia Majesty, who are engag
ed or interested in similar observations is respect
fully suggested and submitted for your decision.
Although concur in the opinion of Lieut.. Mauy
that it would be expedient into substitute at this
time the plan for observations proposed by General
Burgoyne, for that now followed in establishments
and vessels under the direction of the Navy De-
partment; changes and additions could probably be
made, which could secure a nearer approach to
uniformity in shore establishments without pro-
ducing confusion, and they respectfully recon-
mended to that extent.
The suggestions for more general and widely
extended cooperation upon some uniform plan,
promises SO many advantages, that hopes may be
reasonably indulged for its eventual adoption
Notwithstanding strict uniformity cannot be yet
secured between the observations made by our
officers and the British Sovereigns, an interchange
of such observations or of the deductions drawn
from them, seem to be very desirable, and propo-
sal for such exchange is respectfully suggested.
With much respect, am,
Your obedient servant.

SIR:-The communication from the State De-

note from Her Britannia Majesty's Charge d.
Affaires in the city of Washington, together with
the printed volume which accompanied it, relative
tG the cooperation of the government of the United
States with that of her Britannia Majesty in carry
ing out plan which it has adopted for the taking
Of uniform meteorological observations at foreign

ment to the subject, was duly received, and refer
red to the proper bureau for report as to the ex-
tent to which the Navy of the United States is pre-
pared to unite in the proposed cooperation.
This department, appreciating the importance of
cooperation in the meteorological researches be-
tween the officers of the Royal Engineers of Her
Britannia Majesty's Army, and the officers of the
United States, acting under the authority of the
Navy Department, cordially reciprocates the spirit
in which the proposition of the British government
is made.
Concurring in the opinions and approving the
suggestions contained in the accompanying letters
from the Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance and Hy-

the institutions of our country great satisfaction to
see British and American ships, American and

TEN of observations and of carrying it out in such
a manner that an observation in one part of the
world may be readily referred to and compared
with like observations made in other parts Of the
world; and that for the purpose of giving practical
effect to these views, the Superintendent Of the
Naval Observatory is authorized to confer as to
such an uniform plan, with Her Majesty's officers.
and others Of proper jurisdiction, at home and
