本卷收录竺可桢的外文论著59篇，其发表时间跨越58年（1916—1973）。大部分为学术著作，包括部分中文论文的英文摘要。其中，英文56篇，俄文3篇，英文论文大多为作者自撰，少数乃译自中文论文；俄文论文则由他人据作者撰写的中文稿翻译而成。英文论文中，作者1918年在哈佛大学的博士论文A NEW CLASSIFICATION OF THE TYPHOONS OF THE FAR EAST为首次全文发表。除个别早期的英文论文未有中译文外，其余大多皆已译成中文正式发表，入编于本书1—4卷。应当指出，凡从中文著述译成外文者，作者都针对出版刊物的特点和读者对象及原文发表以后的研究进展，对文章作了较大的补充和修改，因此不宜简单地看作是对原论文的翻译。有些文章，如关于二十八宿起源的论述，因应某些出版社或学术会议的要求，中、英文本都曾多次发表，而每次发表的内容往往有所变动。

《竺可桢全集》收录迄今可见的竺可桢文稿约1300万字，第1—4卷为学术论文、大学讲义、科普文章、演讲词、工作报告、思想自传、信函、题词、序跋、诗作等，第5卷为外文著述，第6—19卷为1936—1974年的日记，第20卷为补编、年表和人名索引等。各卷附珍贵历史照片。

在编辑、校对方面，只对出版文字中明显的拼写、标点或语法错误予以订正，凡不影响对文义了解者则不予校正和注释。为尊重历史，地名、人名皆原文照录。引用文献与注释的格式，亦仍其旧，编者不予统一处理。地名有历史变迁，今昔地名、人名的外文名亦有差异，希读者在阅读和引用时注意查核。

外文稿的收集、整理工作，主要由李玉海承担。有些早年发表和其他难以在国内查找的论文，委托陶为霖先生在国外搜寻而得。作者的博士论文打印稿，由施雅风先生在访美期间请美国友人帮助查到，其复印件由中国驻美大使馆转至中国科学院。英文稿的审校由竺安承担，俄文稿的审校由袁子恭承担。

本书循“存真”宗旨，力求保存竺可桢文稿历史原貌，有关本卷编订规则之大要，详见《第5卷编例》。

INTRODUCTION．

As the fluctuation in rainfall from year to year is great，it is always a difficuIt matter to discuss the subject and draw isohyets with accuracy and intelligence unIess we have a long series of reliable observations well distributed over the region under discussion．

China has been backward on all subj ects meteorological．The data on rainfall in China are mostly spasmodic，inaccurate，and limited to recent years only．The data on rainfall in this article are based on Rev．Louis Froc’s work“La P1uie en Chine．durant une period de onze ann6es，1900—1911，”published by the Catholic Mission of Zi～ka—wei，Shanghai，China．These are，no doubt，the most recent and at the same time the most reliable data on the rainfall in China．In a11，there are 88 sta-tions divided into four classes according to the length of the record of rainfall．In the first class， which comprises 34 stations， all except 4 have data extending through the period of 11 years．The records of the remaining stations are incom～plete，varying in length from eight to two or three years．The stations are not verY well distributed，but are concentrated mostly along the coast and the vallev of the Yangtze River；in the northwest they are entirely wanting．The area of china prop—er，according to Mill’International Geography，is approximately 1，300，000 souare miles Assuming that all the data of the 88 stations were available and that thev were uniformly distributed，there still would be only one station to everv 1．500 square miles．

It is evident that a rainfall map based upon these data can only be tentative．If the stations were more numerous and better distributed，and if the records extended over a longer period，the map would be probably quite different from what it is．
