Nothing more appalling than these frightful winds, accompanied 
by tons of drift snow from the mountains above, can be imagined. 
On ninety-two days, or twenty-six per cent. of the time spent at Cape 
Adare, the wind blew from the E.S.E. and S.E. with a velocity above 
forty miles an hour, and on one or two occasions above ninety 
miles an hour, at which stage our Robinson anemometers were 
demolished. 
A proper table of wind directions, velocities, and thermal 
windroses is not yet available, but the following tables will suffice to 
convey some idea of the conditions. 
Table V. shows the number of days in each month when the 
velocity of the wind was above forty miles an hour :—
