NOTES m o M THE ~A T A E R BUREAU LIBRARY.
By C. VITZHUGH TALIUAN. Profcasor in c-harge of Library.
A LIST OF METEOROLOQIkAL ISOGRAMS.
The subject of t>lie meteorological isograms was some- what fully discussed by the resent writer in the Scien-
connection the writer presented a list of such nanied iso- grnms n.s had come to his notice. Further search of mrt,corological litwxture, RS well as the recent rowth of t,lir ~ocnbulary! ennbles him to present herewit % a much larger list and one that is believed t.0 be nearly complete. The nut,hor will he glnd to have his Rttention called to m y that he has overlooked. The isograms of terres- t.rinl ningnet.ism. and many isoganis that are of general upplictxtion in physics and are therefore occasionally met with in meteorological clingranis (e. g., isenergic and ismtropic), lie beyond the scope of the present compila- tion. Thc teim i.sogru.?)i was suggested by Francis Galton in 18S(11 as IE convcnient generic desi nation for lines, on a
condition or qua.nt.ity. These lines are, of course, used in manv sciences, but niuch the largest number of those to which particular nanies have been assigned belong to
meteorology. In German such lines have sonietinies been called lssOl,iincie..n, or Zsmithnwn ( iso-lines  or isarit.linis). Dr. W. N. Shaw, in his Forecasting Weather (London, 1911), calls &hem isopleths, but the latter term has for years borne a more s ecific meaning
same broad sense RS isogrm~. is to be re etted, as leaving the isopleth in the narrower sense wit r. out a distinctive name. As Hann says in his Lehrbuch der Meteoro- logic" (3d ed., 1915, p. 91) the nanio isoplet7i is literally ap ropriate for any line connec.ting equal numerical
class of such lines. Meteorological isograms have sorue- times been known as isomctcoizc lints, and those used in climatology as isocl.imafic lines.
