PERIOD COVERED BY THE SPRING-IM MIGRATION OF 1910. 



The weather-reports are abstracted from the weekly returns 

 of the Meteorological Office, and include the conditions 

 prevailing between 



Parallels of 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 of Spain, the Bay of Biscay, the coast 

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

 southern shores. On the first line opposite the date is a record 

 of the height of the barometer, the direction and force of the 

 wind, the temperature and the weather-conditions prevailing 

 at 9 A.M. on each day, about twenty miles inland from the 

 southern coast of the western extremity of Hampshire. 



The weather-conditions will be much more readily under- 

 stood if the meteorological maps are themselves consulted.
