Writing in I<;i2' on the climate of South Georgia and 
its influence upon the vegetation. Dr. Carl Skottsberg regrets 
that few meteorological data are available with the exception 
of the widely quoted table based upon the German observa- 
tions at Royal P.ay during the season of 18S2-1883. To over- 
come this lack of information 1 offer the following figures 
obtained at the small observatory on the shore of Cumberland 
Bay.- The abstract was kindly supplied by Mr. George O. 
Wiggin, Sub-Director of the Oficina Aleteorologica Argentina, 
under the auspices of which the records have been made since 
August, 1909. 
Data from Cvmberlami Bay, South Georgia. 1907-1012. 
The figures in each case represent the monthly mean. Temperatures are 
in Centigrade degrees ; atmospheric pressures and precipitation in milhmeters ; 
cloudiness and wind force are registered according to the scale o to lo.
