METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS. 357 



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. 



In September, 1914, the meteorological apparatus was again 

 moved to Aubert Hall, the present headquarters of the physics 

 department. 



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 : Maximum and minimum thermometers ; 

 rain gauge ; self-recording anemometer ; vane ; and barometers. 

 The observations at Orono now form an almost unbroken 

 record of forty-eight years.
