Abstract
As meteorologists appear to be taking much interest in whirlwinds and waterspouts, you will perhaps allow me to offer you a few notes respecting a whirlwind that passed over a mountainous part of Northumberland on April 14, 1869, and left indisputable evidence of the direction in which it revolved, a fact of some importance, and one in general so difficult to ascertain, that after much research I have never yet wet with a description of either whirlwind or waterspout that can be considered satisfactory in this respect.
