Introductory . - The relation of pressure variations to precipitation and the similarity of such variations over wide areas have been studied by several investigators. In presenting the evidence of variation of climate Brückner has shown that in every period of greater rainfall there is a reduction of the differences of atmospheric pressure between stations, while in every dry period there is an increase, and these variations occur both in the differences of pressure between one station and another, and between different seasons.
