The data were furnished by the Central Observatory in Leningrad 

 and by the Meteorological Institute of Middle Asia in 

 Tashkent. Stations received from Tashkent were : Alma 

 Ata, Kasalinsk, Tashkent. 

 No data have been received from Dudinka, Markovo-on-Anadyr, 

 Obdorsk. Naryn appears in part III. Certain stations, such as 

 Amolinsk, Berezov, Nikolayevsk-on-Amur, Novo-Mariinsky, Ok- 

 hotsk, Tchita, and Turgai, appear to have been .discontinued about 

 1920 and begun again a few years later. 



Four new stations have been added to the list namely : Dickson, 

 Malye Karmakovly, Kasalinsk, and Waigatz. 



ALMA ATA (VERNIY) 



The height H = 840.6 m was given in data furnished in 1924 pub- 

 lished by the Meteorological Institute of Middle Asia, Tashkent, 1930, 

 and the latest manuscript received gives H = 84i m. The height of 

 the barometer H b = 825 m was given in a sheet of corrections sent 

 in 1927. This height is 16 m lower than H, but is accepted because 

 the barometer is often at an office, while the screen and rain gage may 

 be in an open space outside the town. (Extract from notes furnished 

 by Sir Gilbert Walker.)
