The list of magnetic observatories gives for the 72 stations in operation the geographic position and the abbreviation for each one. Among the newer observatories, either in operation or under construction, are Nurmijarvi in Finland, Průhonice in Czechoslovakia, Memanbetsu in Japan, El Abiod, Beni-Abbes and M'Bour in French Colonial Africa, and Muntinlupa in the Philippine Islands. Speaking in general terms, the annual values are for recent years and follow after those published in the September 1948 issue of the Journal of Terrestrial Magnetism and Atmospheric Electricity. Values for the year 1950 have been supplied by several observatories; in fact, many more than expected, a pleasant augury of recrudescent interest in geomagnetism. Values over comparatively extended periods are tabulated for La Quiaca, Pilar, and Laurie Island (Orcadas), all in Argentina.
