Map to show that a bird leaving Norway, near Aalsund, might be carried round the British Islands in twenty- four hours. The arrows indicate the actual directions and force of wind at the times marked during a slow-travelling circular storm in autumn 1901. Speed of bird about twenty-five miles per hour.
