IN a note at p. 470 (NATURE, March 20), attention is drawn to the statement by Mr. Prince contained in his meteorological summary of observations taken at Crowborough, Sussex, in 1889,

concerning the greater prevalence of north-east as compared with south-west winds which he finds to exist in recent years. The writer of the note mentions that this is not borne out by the

Greenwich observations, but some definite statistics as regards Greenwich, and distinct comparison with the Crowborough numbers, may perhaps not be unacceptable to your meteorological

readers.
