WEATHER. REPORT 



FOR THE 



PERIOD COYERED BY THE SPRma-IMMIGRATION OP 1909. 



The weather-reports are abstracted from the weekly returns 

 o£ the Meteorological Office, and include the conditions 

 prevailing between 



Parallels o£ Latitude 40° N. and 60° N., 

 „ Longitude 10° E. and 10° W. 



Special attention has been paid to the conditions observed 

 over the north coast o£ Spain, the Bay o£ Biscay, the coast 

 of France bounding the Bay, the English Channel, and our 

 southern shores. 



It is suggested that the weather-reports should themselves 

 be consulted, as the maps which they contain are much 

 easier to follow than a merely verbal description.
