11. Anmiaire Be La Officina Central Meteorologica Be Santi- 

 ago Be Chile, 1873.— The third and fourth year of the Annuaire 

 of the Central Meteorological Office in Chili gives in detail the 

 observations made at 13 stations during 1871 and 1872; as also an 

 appendix in which is found a very excellent monograph on the 

 earthquake of the 7th of July, 1873, by J. I. Vergara. The preface 

 tothevolume,whichextendsthrough280pages, gives very complete 

 catalogues of earthquakes since 1849, and reviews of the meteor- 

 ological conditions as shown by monthly and annual means during 

 1870, 1871 and 1872. The whole constitutes an important addition 

 to our scanty knowledge of the meteorology of that section of the 

 w-orld ; and it is to be hoped that Yergara will soon be able to ex- 

 tend the duties of the Meteorological Office, so as to add, to these 

 climatological studies, those other special investigations into atmos- 

 pheric phenomena, which the peculiar nature of the territory of 

 Chili especially invites. c. a.
