« This volume devoded to the meteorology follows the volumes 5,7 and 10 of the annals of the observatory. This first fascicule contains the observations made in the seven years  from 1901 to 1907» …  « The observations had been made in 1901 by M. Auvergnon, and then by M. Fantapié specifically responsible for the meteorological service.  The study of terrestrial magnetism, which appeared in the previous volumes, had to be abandoned following, in the vicinity of the observatory,  the creation of  tramlines, driven up by high-voltage back-up wireless currents.
