 April 1st, 1911. 



Glazed frost over instruments this morning. Temperature down to plus 6 F. last night, 

 but risen again this morning. Barometer falling. Calm. Sky clouded with Strato- 

 cumulus. 



8 p.m. Strato-cumulus radiant formed in the evening with the radiant point to the W. It 

 has all the appearance of a mackerel sky. The prevailing colours of the sunset were 

 green and orange. 



April 2nd, 1911. 



8 a.m. Glazed frost on the Terrestrial Radiation and Solar Radiation thermometers. Dew 

 on the Anemometer in large beads. Calm and clear. 

 Temperature and barometer rising. 



2 p.m. Cirro-stratus clouds appeared early this morning running from E. to W. across the 

 Northern horizon. These gradually moved northwards, and others came until by 

 12 o'clock a radiant of Cirro-stratus, Cirrus and Alto-stratus had formed with the radiant 

 point over the Western Mountains. 



By two o'clock the radiant had swung until the radiant point was some 60 miles 

 further X. From 12 o'clock heavy blue-black Stratus have been forming low down on the 

 Northern horizon, and now a roll of dense Cumulus has formed underneath them. 



At 12.30 a halo of 22 was to be seen. Its colours were faint, ranging from brownish 

 red nearest the sun to a pale grey away from the sun. 



4 p.m. During the afternoon the radiant moved to the N.W. and at 4 p.m. was covered by 

 heavy stratus. Heavy Cumulus to the N. 



6 p.m. A heavy stratus radiant to the W.X.W. It is composed of two rays only, which 

 apparently cross each other at right angles just above the mountains, for the rays are to 

 be seen diverging below the focus. 



To the Xorth the Stratus is very black and a thin roll of Cumulus shows up white 

 underneath it. A few flecks of Cirro-cumulus is all that is left of the upper series of clouds. 

 An E.S.E. wind of force 1 is commencing to blow in gusts and the Stratus is beginning 

 to appear over Cape Adare.
