Diary of the Migratory Movements as Observed at the various Stations. The sequence of the stations is from north to south. The meteorological conditions prevailing during the more important movements are extracted from "The Daily Weather Reports"[11] issued by the Meteorological Office. The wind and weather, as observed at the stations, are given in parenthesis; for the weather, the symbols of the Beaufort scale have been adopted;[12] while the force of the wind ranges from to 12. [Footnote 11: These Reports cover not only the British Islands, but also Western Europe, from Bodo and Haparanda to Corunna and Toulon, and are based upon numerous returns from the area indicated.] [Footnote 12: Beaufort scale:--B. blue sky; C. detached clouds; D. drizzling rain; F. fog; G. dark, gloomy; H. hail; L. lightning; M. misty; O. overcast; P. passing showers; Q. squally; E. rain; S. snow; T. thunder; U. ugly, threatening; V. visibility, unusual transparency; W. dew.] The diction of the recorders has been adhered to as closely as possible. The identification of the species marked * has been verified from wings sent to the Committee. SPRING. Weather during the Week March 21st to 27th. Weather--mild and damp throughout, with southerly (S.E. to S.W.) winds, generally moderate, but occasionally strong, especially in the W. Barometric pressure has been continuously highest over the Continent, and lowest to the westward and north-westward of our Islands, the gradients being, as a rule, moderate, and the distribution cyclonic. On the 24th, however, the continental anticyclone extended to the westward, over our islands, for a short time, and the winds backed to eastward at the southern and south-western stations, with a fall of temperature; but this change was very temporary. Temperature above its normal height--maximum varying from 60° to 65° in many places.--(From Weekly Summary in "Daily Weather Report," March 29, 1886.)
