Meteorological Observations. 235 



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 me- 

 teorological apparatus was removed to Wingate Hall and the 

 observations are in charge of Mr. James S. Stevens, professor 

 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 pre- 

 ceding years, and include : Maximum and minimum thermom- 

 eters; rain guage; self-recording anemometer; vane; and ba- 

 rometers. The observations at Orono now form an almost un- 

 broken record of fifty years.
