This volume exhibits the results of the meteorological observations made at the Radcliffe Observatory, Oxford, during the five years 1906 to 1910 inclusive.
In its main features it is arranged on the same lines as Volume XLVIII of the same series, which contains the meteorological results for the eight years 1892-1899, but differs from the latter in the fact that the readings of the underground platinum-resistance thermometers, which were continued daily up to the end of October, 1910, have not been included, as they are still under consideration, and it is intended to publish them later with a full discussion of the results.
In con sequence of the largely increased volume of astronomical work carried on at this Observatory in recent years, especially that in connexion with the investigation of stellar parallax and proper motion now in hand, it has been found impossible with the limited staff to continue systematically the measurements of the photographic records of barometric pressure and air temperature as was done for the six years to which the last volume related. The photographic results, therefore, do not appear in this volume, but the records continue for the present to be taken as hitherto, and are available for reference at any time.
The routine of observation has been very much the same as that followed in previous years, and only two changes were introduced which need here be noticed. On January 1, 1908, the readings of the rain-gauge situated at a height of 22 feet above the surface of the ground were discontinued, and after December 31, 1908, no further readings were taken of the rain gauge at a height of 1 1 2 feet, nor of the thermometers placed on the Tower at a height of 105 feet above the surface.
