METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS. 



For many years 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 Mr. James S. Stevens, pro- 

 fessor of physics in the University of Maine. 



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-five years.
