Repertorium fur Meteor ologie, edited by the geographical society, re-

 very important source of information. 



The works of the geographical society contain a great deal of informa- 

 tion, especially some of the older volumes of the memoirs, (Sapiski,) and 

 the year 1871 of the " Jsvastia." A new volume of the memoirs now 

 in print is devoted entirely to meteorology. The publications of the 

 Caucasian and Siberian branches of the society should also be men- 

 tioned. The only volume edited by the new Orenburg section, contains 

 an important contribution by Mr. Ovodof on the winds of Orenburg. 



The BuUetm de la Societe des naturalistes, &c., of Moscow, contains 

 meteorological observations of Moscow from 1811 to 1855, and from 18G1

 2IedikO'To2)OfjraftschesJd collection, edited by the medical department 

 of the interior, two vols., 1870 to 1872. The " Zeitsclirift der iJsterrei- 

 cJilschen Gesellscliaft fur ilfefcoroZo^ie" contains many papers relating to 

 the climate of Eussia. I mention only the tables of temperature in 

 the year 1870, Nos. 10, 14, and 15. 



The Bulletin and the Memoirs of the Academy of Sciences of St. 

 Petersburg contained much information in former times ; for example, 

 Abich's contributions on the Caucasus, in the years 1840 and 1850. 

 Since the foundation of the " Repertorium filr Meteorologie,''^ iu 1870, the 

 meteorological contributions appear there. 



The important works of Dove on temperature, of Buchan on mean 

 pressure and winds, of Coffin, on the winds of the northern hemisphere, 

 l)ublished by the Smithsonian Institution, as also Hann, " Untersu- 

 clmngen ueher die Winde dcr ndrdUe/ien Hemispluire,^'' contain valuable 

 information about Russia. 



The publications of the universities (Utschenija Sapiski, Jsvastia, 

 &c.) contain much information, especially in former times, when the 

 centralization of the publications relating to meteorology was not yet 

 begun. 



Observations are also often published by newspapers, but it would be 

 too much to mention them all here. The same may be said of some 

 special and old works.
