MAY. 
20%, A smart shower beginning to fall. 23. Heavy rain began at 22"45™. 2. Cumuli, 
principally on horizon. 5". Cumuli. 
20". Cirri and cirro-strati: a few cumuli appearing to SE. 28%. Principally cumuli round 
N. horizon, with large black watery looking masses rising from S.: sky quite covered with a dense 
haze: the sun projects only a faint shadow : a few clouds like cirro-strati to 8. and E. 25, Over- 
cast. 65. Like cirro-strati, with cumuli near horizon, calm, all as if arrested in their progress. 
204, Overcast. 23%. Cumuli: clouds openingto S. 2". Cumuli: linear cirri above stationary : 
clouds looking electric. 5%. Sky covered with nimbi: loud thunder : brilliant flashes of lightning, 
followed by heavy rain: quite dark to 8S. 
205. A dense mist lies over the ground. 234. Heavy black cumuli: clouds still looking elec- 
tric. 2%. Cumuli moving from §., and lying in thick ranges round horizon, 5". Black cumuli: 
sky to NW. 
20%. Overcast: foggy. 23". Dark cumuli: a speck of blue to NE. 2%, Cumuli: beautiful 
ranges of cumuli round horizon: the sky in patches here and there. 55, Cumuli in ranges round 
horizon : beautiful vertebrated cirri lying from SW. across E. of zenith to NE. ; the lines of cirri 
beautifully fine, like some woven wool; these appear stationary, or nearly so, while a lower current 
carries parallel flocks of cirri moving to NE., but lying at right angles to the direction of the others, 
thus giving the appearance of vertebre. 
108, Cirri and cirro-strati. 115, Principally linear cirri to N. pointing NNE. 12”. The same 
directed to N. 13%. The same radiating from N. 14%. The same moving off to E. 16". Cirro- 
strati and cirri. 17%, Cirro-strati to E. 185—19®. Clear. 20". Overcast: light breeze. 21". 
Clearing : still cloudy : wind as before. 23%—2. Cumuli. 3". Cumuli in ranges round horizon. 
4b__5h. Gumuli, &c. on horizon. 6". Cumuli and cirro-strati. 75. Cumulo-strati and cirro-strati. 
84, Cirro-strati over two-tenths of sky, cumuli one-tenth. 
204, Watery looking cumuli rising from SW. and creeping across to NE. : cirro-strati and cirro- 
cumuli to NE. : very rainy like to SE. 28". As at 20", a few specks of cirro-cumuli. 2. Cumuli 
and nimbi: showers going round: masses of feathery cirri stationary. 5". Cumuli and nimbi: a 
light shower passing. 
2089235. Cumuli. 2%. Cumuli: a few fine linear cirri above. 5. Watery looking cumuli.

2». Cumuli. 5. Scud: light showers passing over. 
204, Cirri to E.: a few detached specks of cumuli rising from SE, 235. Cumuli, with a few

cirri. 55. Detached cumuli: a few cirri. 
204, Clear. 23%. Cirro-strati edged with cirri and cirro-cumuli: a few cumuli. 2", Cumuli. 
55. Cumuli and a few diffuse cirri. 
204. Cirri nearly linear, proceeding from large cirrous nests: a few specks of cirro-cumuli. 
23. Detached cumuli: mixed and linear cirri and cirro-cumuli above. 2. Cumuli near horizon 
to S. and E.: sky to N. and W., covered with cirrous haze: cirro-strati and cirro-cumuli. 
5". Clouds and haze, the sun’s rays appear through the haze so as to cast a faint shadow. 
205. Breaking to E. 234, Diffuse cumuli. 52, Cumuli.

distinct. 
205. A few specks of ill-defined cirri to SW. 23". Cirro-cumuli and linear cirri, 2". A few 
detached specks of small cumuli, with a streak of cirro-stratus. 5%. Gusty. 
204, Heavy mist: trees definable at about } of a mile. 23%. A few faint streaks of cirri to S. 
and SE, 2". A speck or two of cirrus to SW. 5%. Sky on horizon brownish, about 10° alti- 
tude, milky, and so up gradually to the deep blue of the zenith. 
20%, Principally linear cirri to NE. and SE. 23". Chiefly cumuli from S., round by E. to N., 
edges ragged: nests of cirri. 2". From NE. to SE. horizon a mass of ill-defined, flat, watery-
