The observations obtained by the British Northern Hemisphere Observatory Site Survey team in 1974 - 75 at the NW Cone and on the 88-inch ridge on Mauna Kea have been reanalyzed. The new analysis confirms the result of the initial study of these data: better seeing conditions existed at the NW Cone than on the 88-inch ridge during the period covered by the observations. The present, more detailed, analysis indicates that the seeing at both sites became poorer and wind-speed dependent with southerly winds. That deterioration was larger at the 88-inch ridge site than at the NW Cone, indicating (1) that the effect was local in origin and was not due to high-altitude meteorological conditions, and (2) that whatever the local cause, the 88 inch ridge site was more adversely affected than was the NW Cone.
