Abstract
LAWRENCE'S information on possible factors affecting the temperature record at Eskdalemuir Observatory, which we had unfortunately overlooked, is appreciated. It is, however, difficult to find suitable neighbouring stations, with homogeneous data series in a conveniently available form. With respect to the possible shelterbelt effects, the tendency would be towards higher maxima and lower minima in 1957–67 than in 1925–35. In fact, for anticyclonic type, which should best reflect this influence, the maxima and minima increase or decrease together in all four months investigated.
