1012 EXPERIMENT STATION EECORD. 



Opultn. Agron. [Russ. Jour. Expt. LaiuJiv.], .s* {lilO'i), No. J,, p. Jf7S). — The 

 tuittior studied the distribution of temperature iu the presence of woody plants, 

 namely, shrubs, such as the honeysuckle, blackberry, ivy, young pines, etc. The 

 observations v\'ere made by means of oi'dinary psychrometric thermometers with 

 an apron guard for the protection of the bulbs from the sun's rays. Assman's 

 psychrometers were also used. The results obtained show that the highest 

 temperature in sunshine and the lowest during radiation, and hence the greatest 

 daily lluctuations. were observed on the surfcice of the leaves. 



Meteorological summary, 1891-1907, J. H. Norton {Arkansas Sta. Bui. 100, 

 pp. llS-lSJf, charts 2). — This is a summary of observations on wind, tempera- 

 ture, and precipitation at Fayetteville, Ark., prepared with a view to giving the 

 meteorological conditions under which the experimental work of the station is 

 conducted. The mean annual temperature as calculated from the records is 

 .''>8.17° ¥. The highest temperature recorded was 107°, August 3, 1800, the 

 lowest — -24°, February 12, 1S99. The average number of clear days annually is 

 14.3. The annual rainfall varied during the period from 2S.88 in. in 1901 to 

 (J7.48 in. in lOO.I, the average being 45.01 in. 



Climate of Colorado, L. G. Carpenter and li. E. Trimrle {Colorado t<ia. Bui. 

 127, pp. 12, charts 6). — The results of 21 years' observations on temperature at 

 Foi-t Collins are summarized iu tables and diagrams. 



Cliniatolog-ical report for the year 1906, G. A. Lox'eland {Ann. Rpt. Xcbr. 

 Bd. Afjr., 1006-1, pp. 3-J3-3S2). — Data for observations on pressure, temperature, 

 ]»recipitation, and wind during the year in different parts of Nebraska are sum- 

 marized and compared with the means of previous years by the Section Director 

 of the Weather Bureau of this Department. The average pressure for the State 

 was 30.04 in., the mean annual temperature 49° F., and the average precipitation 

 20.98 in., 2..56 in. above normal. 



Records of temperature and rainfall, Jennie A. Yoorhees and G. D. ]Man- 

 NiNG {New Jersey Stas. Rpt. 1907, pp. 89-92). — Tables are given which show 

 the daily and monthly precipitation at the station farm for the year ended 

 October 31, 1907, and for each year since 1890, and the monthly maximum and 

 minimum means of temperature at the same place since 1890. The charac- 

 teristic features of the seascm were a late spring and a total precipitation 

 (45.00 in.) which was slightly (1.71 in.) below the normal for the locality. 



[Meteorological observations] iStatis. Aarhog Daninark, 12 {1907), pp. 

 17S-1S0). — Observations on temperature, pressure, precipitation, and frosts dur- 

 ing 1900 and preceding years in diffex-ent parts of Denmark are summarized. 



Climatology {Ann. Statis. Itah, 1905-1907, No. 1, jrp. 13-J,^).— This report 

 gives the location and elevation of the various meteorological observatories 

 cooiierating with the central meteorological othce of Italy, and contains sum- 

 maries of observations (1871 to 1904) on temperature, vapor tension, relative 

 humidity, amount and frequency of precipitation, and frequency of snow and 

 hail. 



Meteorological observations {Statis. Yearbook [Natal], 1906, pp. 215-30). — 

 Data relating to pressure, temperature, rainfall, cloudiness, and wind movement 

 during 1900 and previous years are summarized for a number of places in Natal. 



Report of chief, meteorological division, J. Lyle {Dept. Agr. Orange River 

 Volony Ann. Rpt., 3 {1906-7), pp. 3I9-S.'il). — This report covers the year July, 

 1900, to June, 1907, and " contains the rainfall records received from 109 rainfall 

 stations, together with pressures and mean monthly maximum and minimum 

 temperatures from 9 second-order stations [in Orange River Colony]. There is 

 also a table con)paring the rainfall this year with the mean of other years for 

 certain selected stations."
