Abstract
A LENGTHY discussion of diverse aspects of the great drought is afforded by Prof. Filippo Eredia in a paper entitled βLa Siccita del 1921,β published on the authority of the Ministry of Public Works, Rome, in 1922. Although the dry weather of that year appears to have affected in varying degrees practically the whole of Europe, and in conjunction with the political situation led to the terrible famine in Russia, the region dealt with in this communication is limited to Italy, Switzerland, France, and Britain, and for the last-named country the author avails himself of the material supplied by Messrs. Brooks and Glasspoole (Quart. Journ. Roy. Meteor. Soc., vol. 48, 1922).
