upon ionization in the lower strata, and not upon any system of
ionization currents in the upper strata, as has been claimed.
Besides the vector directions of the magnetic forces we may
approximately obtain the forces by the formula,
(741) A H = 4 t e n + u + ,
where e = 3.4 X 1(T 10 , n + — the number of positive ions per
cubic centimeter, and ti + the velocity of the circulation in centi
meters per second. The available data for the level 400 meters
are probably approximately as follows, in the South Temperate
zone:

The number of ions per cubic centimeter was obtained at
the surface at Daroca and Guelma, 1905, and from the other
available published data; the velocity of the moving medium
in cms/sec. was adopted from the study of the Argentine data.
The results are so far in harmony with the observed A H = s of
Table 74, South Temperate zone, equivalent approximately to
