This is still a region of the undisputed prevalence of westerly winds. What may- 

 be noticed in S. Sweden is seen here in nearly all the stations: the winds in summer 

 incline somewhat to the N. W. Kamtz was the first to notice the opposite course 

 taken by the N. W. and the S. E. winds on the continent of Europe, the first being 

 most frequent in summer, the last in the winter.^ This is caused by the contrasts of 

 temperature and pressure of the interior of the continent, and of the Atlantic Ocean, 

 the influence of the land being conspicuous in winter, that of the ocean in summer. 



The S. W. winds are most numerous in Belgium and Holland, while this is less 

 the case in southern Germany, where the W. winds prevail. This is partly caused 

 by the influence of the Alps, which do not give free access to S. W. winds, while 

 those from the west reach Germany without impediment. The direction of the 

 winds in this region is given in the following table : —
