METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS. 



For many 3'ears the meteorological apparatus was located in 

 the Experiment Station building and the observations were 

 made by members of the Station Staff. June i, 191 1, the 

 meteorological apparatus was removed to Wingate Hall and 

 the observations are in charge of ]\Ir. James S. Stevens, pro- 

 fessor of physics in the University of Maine. 



January i, 191 1 to Alay 31, 191 1, the instruments used were 

 at Lat. 44° 54' 2" X. Lon. 68° 40' 11" W. Elevation 150 feet. 

 From June i, 191 1, to December 31, 1911, the instruments used 

 were at 'Lat. 44° 54' 2" N. Lon. 64° 40' 5" W. Elevation 135 

 feet. 



The instruments used are the same as those used in preceding 

 years, and include : Wet and dry bulk thermometers ; maxi- 

 mum and minimum thermometers; rain-gauge; self-recording 

 anemometer ; vane ; and barometer. The observations at 

 Orono now form an almost unbroken record of forty-three 

 vears.
