Summary

An examination of the Ben Nevis barometric records shows that, when the non-periodic convex variation is eliminated, the clear-day barometric curve differs but little from the normal curve obtained from all days. The results prove that the clear-day excess found by Buchan and Omond is mainly (though not entirely) due to bias in the selection of data.
