METEOROLOGY AND CLIMATOLOGY.
By Hugh Robert Mill, D.SC, LL.D., F.R.S.E.,
Formerly President Royal Meteorological Society, and Director of the British Rainfall Organization.
The nature of the meteorological observations made by a traveller or by a resident in regions where there is no organised meteorological service will necessarily depend on the object which he has in view, the time he is able to devote to meteorological work, his knowledge of meteorology as a science, and his interest in it.
