Meteorology in Hawaii {Mo. Weatlier Rev., 30 {1902) , No. 7, pp. 364-369, figs. 5).— 

 This is a very full abstract of an article by C. J. Lyons, territorial meteorologist, 

 published in racific Commercial Adrertiser, January 1, 1902. The history and present 

 organization of the weather service in the Hawaiian Islands is explained and the 

 climatology of the islands, especially with reference to the sugar industry and to 

 health, is discussed. The wide variations in climatic conditions, particularly as 

 regards rainfall in different parts of the islands, are illustrated by maps. The data 

 reported show "that as to rainfall the islands have a great variety of climates. While 

 some regions are almost rainless, others are deluged; and still others, like Honohdu, 

 the chief place of resort, have a moderate rainfall onlv— the showers of an I^nglish
