Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Meteorological Service of Canada: For the Year Ended December 31, 1895 Ordinary Stations of the Second Class, where regular observations of temperature, extremes of temperature, the direction and velocity of the wind, and the state of the weather, are taken three times daily at regular local times, the rainfall and snowfall also being measured. Ordinary Stations of the Third Class, where records are kept of the fall of rain and snow, and the general state of the weather. Classification of Canadian Stations Compared with that proposed by the International Conference. There is but one station in Canada, namely, the Magnetic Observatory at Toronto, at which con tinuous records. Of barometric pressure, and of the temperature of the air and of evaporation as well as of the direction and velocity of the wind are kept by self-registering apparatus; and this station is properly the only one which fulfils the conditions necessary to entitle it to be ranked as a station of the first order, according to the International programme. The Chief Stations. As regards the frequency of their observations, and also on account of the fact that nearly all of them are furnished with self-recording anemographs, should however take a rank superior to those of stations of the second order, but they cannot properly be regarded, excepting in a partial sense, as stations of the first order. Telegraph stations and ordinary stations of the first class correspond to stations of the second Order in the International classification, while ordinary stations of the second and third classes in the Canadian classification are to be reckoned as stations of the third order.
