Abstract
I? the midst of the semi-desert plain of Jefara, between the coast of Tripolitania and the interior plateau, there exists an official Italian settlement situated about 25 miles south of Tripoli and 25 north of Gharian at some 300 feet above sea-level, known as Azizia. In 1913 Prof. Filippo Eredia, as a member of an agricultural commission, visited the locality, and wisely saw to the establishment of a meteorological station on the lines followed at many other points in the colony. He took great pains to ensure the accurate functioning of the instruments after approved methods, and has recently published the results for a period of seven, not, however, consecutive years: 1913, 1914, 1915, 1919, 1920, 1921, 1922.
