Thiessen. 299 pp., Washington, DC, U.S. Dept of . Commerce, Weather Bureau, [1946]. Preface "The basic collection of terms for a weather glossary was made by Charles F. Talman, late librarian (1908-1936) of the United States Weather Bureau, who accumulated in his time an enormous number of weather terms gleaned from popular and scientific literature. In his search for terms, he covered the period from Aristotle to the present time, and included dialectical weather words. While he wrote no formal deimitions, he appended copious references, citations, and personal notes which have been found invaluable. This great accumulation of terms was available for use in the present-work, and it is hoped that it will always be preserved for investigators and students throughout the English speaking world.---- Alfred H.
