The follom~ng titles have been selected from the con-
tents of the periodicals and serials recently received in the Library of the Weather Bureau. The titles selected apers and other comiiiunications hearing on
meteoroogy are Of P and cognate ljranches of science. This is
not a complete indes of all the journnls from which it has been compiled. It shows only the articles that appear to the compiler likely to be of particular interest in connection with the work of the Weather Bureau.
