Abstract
THE report of the Meteorological Service of Canada for the year 1909 (pp. xxi + 567 and plates), has been published recently. The large mass of data furnished by this extensive system is arranged in tables giving (1) monthly and annual summaries; (2) bi-hourly and hourly temperature and barometric pressure; (3) mean and extreme temperature, daily range, rainfall, etc.; (4) daily observations from selected stations; and (5) magnetic results at Agincourt Observatory. Some of the results of observations at the Central Observatory at Toronto were quoted in NATURE of September 7, 1911. The report includes a brief monthly summary of the weather over the whole Dominion, and tables showing the number of weather forecasts and percentage of fulfilment in each district and month. The general percentage of fulfilment amounted to 86.8, after making due allowance for forecasts only partly verified.
