446 ICE-BOUND ON KOLGUEV 
42° F. during August up to the 28th. After this the weather got rapidly 
colder, and by September 16 the ground was covered with snow, and 
the lakes were beginning to freeze. 
Kolguev is exceedingly subject to fogs and gales of great duration. 
The prevailing wind is northerly, either N., N.E., or N.W. Indeed, this 
is so remarkable that I give the record :—
