The weather conditions on the summit of Ben Nevis made it impossible to obtain a continuous record from self-registering anemometers at the Ben Nevis Observatory, but we have in the hourly observations of the wind made by the observers what approximates to a complete and continuous record. The direction and strength of the wind were noted at each hour by day and night, and these observations are to be found tabulated month by month in extenso in this and the preceding volumes of observations. The direction is recorded to 16 points (N., N.N.E., N.E., E.N.E., E., etc.), and the pressure on a scale from 0 to 12 closely akin to the well-known Beaufort scale ; but the situation of the Observatory rendered the record of the wind-pressure or velocity very unsatisfactory.
