The means of pressure from 1936 to 1940 have been obtained 

 from four daily observations by applying the formula ^(1** + 



If it was possible, the pressure was reduced to the former height 

 of the station indicated in Smithsonian Misc. Coll., vol. 90. 

 Temperature. 



The means of temperature have been computed from daily obser- 

 vations made at y^, 13*^, and 21'' by applying the formula 

 ■J( 7'' +13*^ + 21''). These means of temperature have been 

 reduced to the true means of 24 hours. From 1936 to 1940 

 observations were made at i*", 7^, 13'', and 19''. The means of 

 temperature were obtained by applying the formula i(i^ + 

 7^^+13''+ 19") and were not reduced to the true means of 

 24 hours, except at some stations which are indicated in their 

 • proper places. 



DICKSON 

 Pressure. 



The means of pressure have been reduced to the former heights 

 of 13 m. published in Smithsonian Misc. Coll., vol. 90, by 

 using the correction of +0.7 mm. in the means at the new 

 height of 20.3 m. 



KIRENSK 

 Temperature and Precipitation. 



The means of temperature and the amount of precipitation for 

 the period from September to December 1940 have been 

 recorded by a newly established station. Its position is 

 Lat. 57° 47' N., Long. 108° o' E., Hb=27o m. (?) 



KRASNOVODSK 

 Pressure. 



The means of pressure have been reduced to their former height 

 of —19.9 m. indicated in Smithsonian Misc. Coll., vol. 90, 

 by introducing the correction of +1.0 mm. in the means for 

 the height of —9.6 m. from 1931 to 1932, and the correction 

 of +1.2 mm. in the means for the height of —7.4 m. from 

 1933 to 1940. 



MINUSINSK 

 Station. 



The station, the means of which were published in Smithsonian 

 Misc. Coll., vols. 79 and 90, does not exist any longer. The
