SUBJECT AND AUTHOR INDEX OF THE MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW, 1909. .The following rules have been observed by Mr. Cleveland Abbe, jr., in preparing this inclex: The meteorological elements most iinpoibnt in determining climate, surh as temperature and precipitation, are entered under both the element and the locality, but the following are entered only under their respective headings, and not under the locality : Atmospheric electricity, droughts, earthquakes, evaporation, floods, fog, frost, lightning, meteors, optical phe- nomena, excessive precipitation, radiation, storms of all kinds, temperature of snow, soil, and water. Places in the United States are entered under the name of the State or Territory; in foreign countries, uncler the country. If tables of observations contain but two subjects, e. g., pressure and temperature, each is indexed separately under its proper heading. Tables containing more than two suhjects are entered but once [in acldition to the entry under location), under the general heading “ Observations,” except that the following are indexed separately wherever they occur : Auroras, drought, evaporation, fog, frost, halos, number of days with precipitation, ozone, radiation, snow, sunshine, temperature of soil and water, thunderstorms, and (uncler clouds) number of clear, partly cloudy, and cloudy days. The letters a, b, c, d, refer to the lst, 2d, 3d, and 4th quarters of the page, respectively, ancl indicate a brief note or reference. The length of any article covering more than one column is given to the nearest whole page. An asterisk (*) preceding a page number shows that not more than a very few lines are 4Ievotecl to the subject on that page. A dagger (t) indicates that the phenomenon clescribed is especially noteworthy. The following abbreviations are used: Q., “quoted ”; p., “page” or “pages”; ch., “chart” or “charts”; pl., “plate” or “plates”; for the calendar months, Ja., F., Mr., Ap., My., Je., Jl., Ag., S., O., N., D.
