Abstract
NEW DAILY WEATHER MAP.—We hail with the greatest satisfaction the appearance, on New Year's Day, of the first number of a daily international weather-map issued by the Austrian Meteorological Institute. It embraces nearly the whole of Europe, and supplies a want not met by any existing weather-maps, in representing the weather of Central and part of Southern Europe, with a satisfactory fulness such as the meteorology of his important region demands in the development of this branch of the science. In addition to the invaluable material this pubication will lay before us from day to day relating to thunderstorms, the summer rains, and the falls of hail and snow of Cenral Europe, it will also furnish data absolutely indispensable investigating the causes which determine the course and the rate of progress of the storms of North-western Europe. Indeed, this respect, and consequently in the prognosis of British storms, the Austrian empire is, of all countries which lie eastwards of Great Britain, second in importance only to Lapland and the north of Scandinavia.
