In order to discuss the observations I prepared some small 
charts comprising the northern part of England and the south of 
Scotland, and on these I plotted the direction and force of the 
:. _ wind, the temperature of the air, and the amount of cloud, at all 
the stations over the whole of that area, which were available on 
each day when a Helm Wind was reported. It was at once seen 
that the Helm occurred mostly when the general direction of the 
wind was East or North-east, although it occasionally occurred 
when the wind was North or South-east. 
In the accompanying Table I have given for each month of the 
three years 1885-87, the number of days (1) on which the wind over 
_ the greater part of the country blew from some Easterly point (that 
is from North to South-east); (2) when the local wind was from 
the Eastward (for this the observations at Newton Reigny have 
_ been used) ; (3) when there was a Helm formation; and (4) when 
_ there was a Helm Bar.
