METEORoLO(3ICAL CHARTS OF THE INDIAN OCEAN.
By CHARLES FITZHURH TALMAN, Section of Ocean Meteorology, U. S. Weather Bureau.
As one result of the recent transfer of the work in ocean
meteorology from the Hydographic Oftice to the U. S. Weather
Bureau, the latter becomes a cooperator in the important
studies of the Indian Ocean and adjacent lands, recently un-
dertaken on a large scale by the meteorological service of
India. The general plan of this work was outlined by Sir
John Eliot, in his notable address before the subsection of
Cosmical Physics a t the last meeting of the British Associa-
tion.
The Indian Service published for several years daily synoptic
charts of the Indian monsoon area, but the region covered by
these charts extended only between 3G0 north and 12O south
latitude. The observations upon which the charts were based
were partly made at the shore stations, and partly obtained
from meteorological logs of vessels. I n view of the vast imyort-
ance to India of a complete understanding of the conditions
which control the monsoon winds and the resultant rainfall,
it has been decided to extend the field of observation over the
greater part of the Southern Indian Ocean, and also to include
broad areas of the surrounding continents and islands.
In order to obtain as many observations as possible from the
oceanic areas, and especially from the region of permanent
high pressure in the ocean east of Cape Colony, the coopera-
tion of the British, German, and American meteorological
services has been requested. These three services are now
engaged in securing marine observations from vessels of all
nationalities throughout the world. As an indication of the
probable number of reports to be furnished by the Weather
Bureau, the statement of the Hydrographic Ofice as to the
number of reports of trans-Indian voyages received during the
period January 1, 1902, to January 1, 1904, is of interest.
The number was 53, and the average time spent within the
prescribed area was 51 dags, making a total of 2700 observa-
tions in 720 days, or approximately four observations a day.
To this number, the vessels reporting to the British and Cter-
man meteorological services, together with those which report
direct to the Indian Service, will be added, making up a very
respectable total; so that the daily synoptic charts which the
Indian Service is to prepare, commencing with January 1,1906,
are likely to present an interesting and valuable picture of the
march of weather conditions over this region.
Sir John Eliot says:
It has been found that the abnornial conditions of the past seven
years, with thetr droughts in Australia, Africa, and India, have been
associated with abnormal pressure conditions over a very large portiun
of the earth's burface; and it i s hoped that these charts will enable light
to be thrown on a number of questions of scientific interest a s well as
of economic importancu.
The new enterprise of the Indian Meteorological Service
appears to be an important step in the direction of L'w~rld
meteorology," with successful long-range forecasting as its
ultimate aim.
EARTHQUAKES OF JANUARY AND FEBRUARY, 1905.
BY PROF. CHARLES F. MARVIN.
The following notes have reference to two slight earthquakes
recorded by the Bosch Omori seismograph at the Weather
Bureau in January and February of 1905.
The first, while definitely registered was of short duration
and only a few of the characteristic features of such records
were well developed.

The second was a much stronger dis-
The detailed times of the usual features follow:

The earthquake of February 14 was preceded and followed
by very perceptible pulsatory oscillations, by which are meant
very slight oscillations that are visible throughout nearly the
entire record and which have been noticed to occur from time
to time without apparent close connection with other observed
phenomena. These oscillations tend to render the determina-
tion of the times of beginning and encling of the feebler

DR. J. 0. HARRIS.
By WILLIAM G. BVRNS, Sectiou Director, U. S. Weather Bureau.
Dr. J. 0. Harris, an honored member of the staff of volun-
tary observers of the Climate and Crop Service of the Illinois
Section, died at his home in Ottawa on the morning of Janu-
ary 10, aged 77 years. He was born at Liverpool, Onon-
daga County, New York, on September 13, 1528. He was a
descendant of Revolutionary stock. A graduate in medicine,
he entered the Army in 1862 as assistant surgeon of the 53d
Illinois infantry. He was public-spirited and identified with
every local enterprise. A man of high literary and scientific
attainments, as early as 1854 he organized the public library,
and his labors in the meteorological field clnte back to 1853, when
he acted as correspondent for the Smithsonian Institution.
Since the organization of the Signal Service in 1870, Doctor
Harris has served as voluntary observer, and his labors ceased
only with his death. ~-
