The Meteorological Stations of Colon and Cristobal have been 

 considered identical. While the station has been moved 

 several times, all locations are within a mile of each other 

 and under similar meteorological influences. The data for 

 this station were published under the name of Cristobal 

 from January 1908 to August 191 1; under the name of 

 Colon from September 1911 to March 1927, and again under 

 the name of Cristobal from April 1927 to date.

Precipitation. 



"Only a few pluviometric stations continued their work, one of 

 these being San Jose, and so it is possible to send the data on 

 rainfall except for the years 1922-1934. We are now reor- 

 ganizing the National Meteorological Service and I am look- 

 ing for the registers that are partially or totally lost." (Ex- 

 cerpt from the Director's letter.)
