Abstract
THE United States Government has, with its accustomed liberality to science, published in a bulky volume of about 1,000 pages, under the auspices of the National Academy of Sciences, the results of the various observations of meteorology, astronomy, and magnetism, made by the scientific staff of the Polaris during the expedition to the Arctic regions in 1871-73. In the present notice we shall refer only to the barometric observations, and the discussion of them, which occupy altogether forty-three pages of the volume before us.
