Dr. K Angus Smith, F.R.S., described a remarkable fog 

 which he saw in Iceland. It appeared to rise from a small 

 lake and from the sea at about the same time, when it 

 rolled from both places and the two streams met in the 

 town of Reykjavik. It had the appearance of dust, and 

 was called dust by some persons there at first sight. This 

 arose from the great size of the particles of which it was 

 composed. They were believed to be from T^oth to shuth. 

 of an inch in diameter. They did not show any signs of 

 being vesicular, but through a small magnifier looked like 

 transparent concrete globules of water. They were con- 

 tinually tending downwards, and their place was supplied 

 by others that rolled over.
