Abstract
THE just issued “Annual Report of the Russian Geographical Society for 1881” shows that during last year the Society has again accomplished a good deal of useful scientific work. A subject 10 which much attention was given was the establishment of polar meteorological stations. The station at Novaya Zemlya has already been in operation, as is known, for two years, and a new one, which will be established at the mouth of the Lena, is provided with the best instruments, and is intrusted to persons who will be able to make of it a first-class meteorological observatory. During the summer the expedition will reach the shores of the Arctic Ocean, and begin the meteorological observations. The Dutch station will be erected at Port Dickson, at the mouth of the Yenisei.
