The Harvard meteorological stations in Peru have been closed, as a result of an order to cease operations, which went into effect on January 1. These stations, six in number, have been for the past eight years the basis of operations for the determination of the hitherto unknown weather conditions in the vicinity of the Andes Mountains. With the new data obtained, a comprehensive and accurate estimate may be now made of the climates of the world. As much as was portable of the apparatus has been carried to the branch observatory at Arequipa, near by, where some meteorological work will be continued for an indefinite period. Among the stations which have been abandoned with the successful termination of the investigation, is El Misti, which is situated 19,000 feet above the sea level and is the highest station of its kind in the world.
