Extract

In 1889 the Scottish Meteorological Society decided on making observations on the dust in the atmosphere at their Observatory on Ben Nevis. Having prepared the plans for the apparatus to be used for counting the dust particles, I visited the Observatory on the 1st of August of that year, and, after consulting with Mr Omond, decided that the tower of the Observatory was the best place for fitting up the instrument. The apparatus was afterwards made by White of Glasgow, and fitted up in the Observatory on 5th June 1890.
