Abstract
In his Presidential Address to the Institute this year the Astronomer Royal, Sir Harold Spencer Jones, stresses the importance of an early resumption of the general survey of the Earth's magnetic field and developments in airborne magnetometers in the United States have suggested the possibility of using aircraft for this purpose. The techniques which are available for aerial survey will be discussed in this paper and an attempt will be made to evaluate the relative merits of conducting world wide magnetic surveys by sea and by air.Keywords
