ResumoScarcely any mention is made today of investigations carried out in Brazil during the period above on the science of the atmosphere.Yet the study of these cases reveals much about the milieu of a few devoted men who laboured to pursue a scientific career.That such an arcane topic has been the concern of investigators at such an early date may come as a surprise to many.The subject was an oddity as a field of study anywhere at the time, and its history deserves the attention of present-day chemists.
