Abstract

In an interesting paper on the meteorology of India read before the Society in 1925, Sir Gilbert Walker gave a comprehensive account of the main elements of climate which affect the industrial and social well-being of the country, and dealt with the great question of seasonal weather forecasting, on which he has become the chief authority. I propose to-day to take up some of the newer means of dealing with Indian problems, and to add the consideration of a fresh item, the safeguarding of international aviation.
