 very important vsource of iuforuuition. 



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 i>rint 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 Bulletin de la Sociefe des naturalistes, &c., of Moscow, contains 

 meteorological observations of Moscow from 1841 to 1855, and from 1861 

 to 1872, as also meteorological contributions of a more general kind. 

 Medilio-TopograftscliesM collection, edited by the medical department 

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

 cMsclien Geselhchaft fur Meteorologie''^ contains many papers relating to 

 the climate of Russia. 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 1849 and 1850. 

 Since the foundation of the " Repertorimn fur M€teorologie,''Hu 1870, the 

 meteorological contributions appear there. 



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

 I)ressure and winds, of Coffin, on the winds of the northern hemisphere, 

 published by the Smithsonian Institution, as also Hann, " Untersu- 

 chungcii ueher die Winde der nordUchen HemispMre,''^ 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.
