122 REMARKS ON THE WEATHER. 1842. 
JULY. 
cumuli: cirri and masses of thick cirro-strata above: to the SE. is a large hazy mass of clouds 
which becomes almost cirrous on the edges, and is cumulion the top. 5". Cumuli moving rapidly : 
4 h dh _ linear cirri above stationary. 
5 20—6 5. 20", The sky covered with a thick cirrous haze, through which a few patches of sky are seen 
to W.: to the NE. dark cirro-cumuli are seen below the haze, and linear cirri here and there: a 
few specks of scud or loose cumuli rise from about NNW., and mostly creep along the S. horizon ; 
a few along the N. horizon; the haze and other clouds appear stationary. 23. A great portion of 
the clouds are patches of cirrous haze; there are also cirro-cumuli, linear cirri, scud and cumuli, 
2, Principally ragged cumuli: linear cirri above: hazy cirrito N. and E. 5". Cumuli: a few 
linear cirri to NE. 
6 20—7 9. 20", A confused mixture, apparently breaking to E. 28". Sky covered with a thick cirrous 
haze: quite milky: cumuli on E. and N. horizon. 2. Haze as before, but more cumuli; the 
sun projects a faint shadow. 5". Scud and haze: rain. 8 45™. Clouds like puddledock: occa- 
sional showers. : 
7 20—8 5. 20". Cirro-cumuli: large masses of ragged cumuli rising from SW.: linear cirri to N. 284, 
Cirro-cumuli moving slowly : immense piles of cumulo-strati of great length : dark to SSW., where 
there appears the nucleus of a storm: patches of scud with the cumuli, 25. Cumuli and nimbi 
rising from SSW.: occasional showers. 5". Cumuli, nimbi, and cirrous haze: clearing to S.: 
occasional smart showers. 
8 20—9 5. 205. Large masses of watery cumuli rolling along slowly: in the E. the rounded masses are 
inclined to the horizon at an angle of 45°, and have a most picturesque appearance : cirro-cumuli 
seen above: a few patches of sky. 20" 10™. Clouds 9-5, 23. Large masses of cumuli below, 
while there is a large kind of cirro-cumuli above : the cumuli have great fantastic forms, and are 
much in ranges: patches of sky. 2%. Cumuli and large cirro-cumuli: cumuli in ranges round 
horizon : about an hour ago beautiful cirro-cumulo-strati were seen. 5". Cumuli, with large cirro- 
cumuli and cirro-strati round horizon ; the cumuli are lowest and move quickly, the others are sta- 
tionary. 
10 20—11 5. 20". Scud: heavy rain: on the evening of the 10th scud was moving from about W., the lower 
current being more rapid than the upper. 23%—2. Scud: heavy rain, 5%. Cumuli and seud : 
clouds more broken : a little sky in zenith: showers lately: the air feels warm. 
11 20—12 5. 204. Cirri and cirro-strati to E.: the cirriare on the border of the mass of cirro-strati, and in 
some places look like foam on a wave; they have their concavity towards the S.: watery-looking 
eumuli rising from NNW. 23, Cumuli. 2. Cumuli: clouds in detached masses over the whole 
sky. 5%. Cumuli, principally on horizon: a few linear cirri to E. 
12 20—13 5. 20%. Cumuliand scud: rain: sunshine half-an-hour ago. 23", Loose cumuli and nimbi moving 
quickly : cirro-cumuli above: showers around, 2. Cumuli and scud: cirri and cirrous haze above. 
5®, Cumuli and seud. 
13 20—14 5, 20, Cumuli and scud: linear cirri and cirro-strati to N. and 8, 23. Ragged cumuli and 
cirrous haze. 2%—5", Cumuli. 
14 20—15 10. 205. Hazy cirri to N., E., and S.: cirro-cumuli and cirro-strati to W.: two or three masses of 
ragged cumuli. 23. Chiefly linear cirri spread in all directions, almost becoming haze to N. and E. : 
cirro-cumuli and cumuli moving slowly. 2. Cumuli: woolly cirro-cumuli and cirri: fish-backed 
cirro-strati. 5. Flat cirrous-edged cumuli moving very slowly from about WNW. 95 35™, Strange 
looking grey cirro-cumuli creeping up from SW. near to the zenith, and E. and W. of it, sending 
out small ragged creepers, like the branches of a weeping willow ; the sky to the 8. of the zenith is 
quite covered with this, which becomes quite thick to 8., and like irregular cirro-cumuli at 45° alt. 
15 20—16 5. 20", Clear: a small patch of linear cirrus to W.: hazy to E. 23", Cumuli dispersed over the 
sky, except to N., from which a compact mass extends to ESE. 2. Cirrous masses, from which 
the cirri diverge in all directions ; the greatest mass is to NW. 5%. Cirri in fantastic forms, spring- 
ing from a thick nucleus to W., and tossed out in all directions ; there is a long feather of cirrus 
extending 25° to 30°: linear cirri to SW. 
17 20—18 9. 20". Sky covered with cirrous haze and linear cirri, which appear stationary, while masses of 
loose cumuli or scud moving slowly from about E. cover seven-tenths of the sky ; the sun’s rays just 
project a faint shadow on paper ; the sky was covered by a confused mixture of cirri on the 17th. 
235. Cirrous haze and cirro-strati as before, but more cumuli or scud ; the haze seen through the 
openings. 2, Cirrous haze as before: cumuli and cumulo-strati. 5%. Less haze: a few cirro-
