Abstract
THE Meteorological Congress, which held its meetings in Vienna from the 2nd to the 16th of September last, had its origin in a wide-spread conviction that since meteorology can be prosecuted with success only when it is treated internationally, uniformity of procedure among different nations is indispensable; and it was to bring about this uniformity that the Congress was convened. A preliminary Conference was held at Leipsig in August 1872, for the purpose of preparing the programme for the Congress. The Austrian Government issued invitations to other Governments to send delegates to the Congress. To these invitations every European country, except France, responded, and the United States and China were also represented.
