SUBJECT AND AUTHOR INDEX OF THE MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW, 1908.
CHRONOLOGICAL INDEX FOLLOWS.
The following rules have been observed in preparing this
index:
The meteorological elements most important in determin-
ing climate, such as temperature and precipitation, are en-
tered under both the element and the locality, but the follow-
ing are entered only under their respective headings, and not
under the locality: atmospheric electricity, droughts, earth-
quakes, evaporation, floods, fog, frost, lightning, meteors, op-
tical phenomena, excessive precipitation, radiation, storms of
all kinds, temperature of snow, soil and water.
I f tables of observations contain but two subjects, e. g.,
pressure and temperature, each is indexed separately under
its proper heading. Tables containing more than two sub-
jects are entered but once (in addition to the entry under lo-
cation), under the general heading  Observations, except
that the following are indexed separately wherever they oc-
cur: auroras, drought, evaporation, fog, frost, halos, number
of days with precipitation, ozone, radiation, snow, sunshine,
temperature of soil and water, thunderstorms, and (under
clouds) number of clear, partly cloudy, and cloudy days.
The letters a, b, c, d, refer to the lst, 2d, 3d, and 4th quar-
ters of the page, respectively, and indicate a brief note or
reference.
