66 a EXPERIMENT STATION. [Jan. 



REPORT OF THE METEOROLOGIST. 



J. E. OSTRANDER. 



During the past year the work in this department has been 

 continued along the usual lines. Changes in the character of the 

 records or the methods of observation cannot well be made if the 

 results are to be of value for comparison with existing records. 



Besides the compilation of the usual data and the arrange- 

 ment of the records in permanent form, a summary of existing 

 records for twenty-five years was prepared and published as 

 Bulletin No. 153, in June. This bulletin has been sent out to 

 a selected mailing list, and is found useful in answering many 

 inquiries addressed to this department concerning the matter of 

 climate, rainfall, temperature and wind movement. 



During the year we have acted as one of the voluntary stations 

 of the United States Weather Bureau, and have furnished spe- 

 cial data for publication in the monthly on climatological data 

 of the ISTew England section. 



The usual monthly bulletins giving the results of the observa- 

 tions at this station have also been published and distributed 

 from here.
