REMARKS ON THE WEATHER. 1842. 121 
JUNE 
overhead. 12%. Cumuli to S. 13%. Principally large cirro-cumuli. 15". Linear cirri, chiefly 
to E. 16%. Linear cirri and pure cirri having the concave side to S. 17. Linear cirri to E. 
26 Cumuli principally on horizon: cirri. 3". Cumuli round horizon, but principally cirri scat- 
tered over the sky : thick cirrous haze to 8. and SW. 4®. Cumuli on horizon: remainder of the 
sky covered with cirrous haze: very thick to S. and SE.: the sun’s rays scarcely penetrate. 
65. Cumuli. 85—9". Scud. 
20%. Cumuli moving quickly : sky very hazy to E. : linear cirri to S. stationary: some of the 
cumuli very low. 23". Cumuli and haze: linear cirri above: clouds watery and electric-looking : 
a few drops of rain. 25". Cumuli moving rapidly : linear cirri : cirro-cumuli and cirro-strati 
above stationary : cirrous haze to SSW. rising with cumuli. 
20%, Cumuli in different strata: cirro-cumuli. 23%. Scud. 2. Scud: lightrain. 5". Heavy 
rain. 
(Sunday). The wind changed in the morning from SW.: wind very strong on Saturday night 
and Sunday. 
208. Small watery ragged cumuli moving quickly : a long compact body of cirro-cumuli over 
two-tenths of the sky. 23*—2. Cumuli. 5%. Cumuli, some of them spinning out into cirri and 
beautiful cirro-cumuli, which, in some places, are formed of little mats of cirrus, fining off to the 
edge, so as to become mottled or waved cirri: to the E. is one mass of cirrus, in which the lines 
lie NW. and SE., in other places, to the S. and W. it gets quite thick, so that the separation can 
scarcely be distinguished. 8 20°—25™. Most beautiful cirro-cumuli here and there in thick 
masses, fine near the edges, with bright blue between, all radiating from NW. to zenith, and from 
SE. where they almost become cumuli. 
20%. Scud: light rain. 23%, Scud. 5%. Smartshower. 8 30™. Masses of scud moving very 
rapidly from SW., shewing occasionally speckled or frosted-looking cirro-cumuli above stationary. 
205. Ragged cumuli or scud very low and moving quickly: cirro-cumuli and cumuli above. 
235, Scud and cumuli moving quickly : cumuli on horizon : linear cirri in zenith either station- 
ary or moving very slowly. 2. Scud. 5%. Cumuli and scud: long streaks of cirri pointing 
E. and then S. : clouds electric-looking to E.: the quantity of clouds variable. 8" 35™. Watery- 
looking scud edged with cirro-cumuli: large dense masses of cirro-stratus: cirri to S.: the clouds 
extend far, haying large open spaces within : many of the clouds like large masses of cedar branches. 
20". Cumuli creeping along horizon from W.: linear cirri above cumuli pointing E.: many 
patches of watery cumuli rising from about W., pass over near the zenith moving towards ESE. ; 
when they approach the meridian they break up into cirrous edges, as if the mass were unravel- 
ling itself, and then they get quite detached, some parts appearing motionless, some moving quicker 
than others, and often taking very different directions, some proceeding nearly to E., others moving 
off to 8. or SSE., till at last they are altogether dissipated ; to the SE. patches are occasionally 
seen forming just as the others vanish ; the clouds near the horizon do not appear to pass through 
this change. 23%. Cumuli, which appear to move from NW. or NNW., but there still appears 
to be two currents, the upper from about W., and the lower from about N ; when near the meri- 
dian there is the same tendency to dissipate. 2. Cumuli: the sky hazy: some of the cumuli 
very ragged. 5%. Cumuli: cirrous haze. 
20—30 23. © 20". Cumuli and cirro-cumuli: linear cirri to NE. 23, Cumuli: hazy to E.: clouds moving 
2—1 5. 
20—2 5.

very slowly. 
JULY. 
28, Clouds and haze: cumuli very hazy to E. and S.: electric-looking. 5%. Clouds and haze : 
thick cirrous haze to W. and 8. : cumuli and cirri: low clouds, like patches of scud moving slowly : 
very black'to E.: haze so thick to W. that the sun’s rays scarcely project a shadow; his rays ap- 
pear like fine cirri in the cirrous haze ; some portions of the cirri might be termed etched, from 
their scratchy appearanee. 
205. Cirri and nimbi: light rain. 23", Cumuli and nimbi. 2%, Cumuli and nimbi: rain: 
small patches of sky. 5. Cumuli and cirro-cumuli. 
205—2), Scud. 5%. A kind of thick haze and cumuli on horizon. 
20", Nimbiand cumuli: other clouds above: light rain. 28%. Cumuli: nimbi and scud : a few 
patches of sky : immense masses of clouds moving rapidly from about SW.: light rain. 2°. Watery
