AUGUST. 
h 
7 20—18 5. 20%. Cirrous haze: cumulo-strati and cirro-strati: loose cirro-cumuli. 235. Vertebrated cirro- 
cumuli, &c., pointing from S. to N. 2. Haze: cirri and cumuli: thermometer in the sun 106°-8, 
5", Common and craggy cumuli: linear cirri pointing from W. to E.: cirrous haze: a few patches 
of scud, 
18 20—19 5. 20". Loose cumuli: hazy above: thunder to E. before and after this time, and was also heard 
during the night. 235. Cirrous haze and linear cirri. 2%, Haze: cumuli and rather large cirro- 
cumuli, 5", Haze: nearly homogeneous. 
19 20—20 5. 20". Loose cumuli: cumuli on horizon: linear cirri. 234, Scud: a perceptible drizzle. 
2%, Haze: scud: dull grayish-blue appearance : stormy-like. 5". Haze and nimbi rising from 
SSW. like a fine sheet : clouds like cedar branches: slight drizzle. 
21 20—22 5. 20% A kind of mottled gray mass, part of it like loose cirro-cumuli: sky on NW. horizon. 
23". Cirro-cumuli, but not well-defined : in some places to N. the cirro-cumuli are like the rippled 
sand on the sea-shore, but are brownish on the ridges, and white in the hollows. 2%, A very hete- 
rogeneous mixture, small patches of the sky here and there. 5%. Nearly as before, but denser. 
22 20—23 5. 20%—23, A few loose detached cumuli: linear cirri. 2%, Woolly cirro-cumuli of all sizes: 
eumuli: sky hazy near horizon; dense to S. and SE. 5. Cirro-cumuli lying in strata from 
SSW. to NNE., gathered in many places into dense nuclei; to the E. are long strata of clouds, 
probably cirro-strati, with rough edges, lying from SE. to NNE. : a few patches of black scud sail- 
ing low from about SSW.., and lying in lines in that direction like the cirro-cumuli. 
23 20—24 5. 20%. Scud: light drizzle. 23%. Like buttermilk agitated, all as if stationary ; like cedar branches 
to N. 2". Nearly as before: occasionally light showers. 5". More broken than before: a few 
patches of sky : detached cumuli lying very low. 
24 20—25 5. 20%. A few linear cirri. 23. Loose cumuli: cumuli higher, moving much slower. 2%. Cumuli. 
: 55. Loose cumuli: linear cirri. 
25 20—26 5. 20. Scud: various kinds of cirro-cumuli above: linear cirri here and there. 235. Loose 
cumuli: cirro-cumuli. 2, A few patches of scud moving from NE.: cumuli, &c. above, moving 
very slowly from about SSW. 5". Loose cumuli: cirro-cumuli. 
26 10—27 10. 10%—20" Scud. 21". Scud: a few patches of sky: cirro-cumuli seen above. 22. Scud : 
sky in patches. 2. Cumulous scud: cirro-cumuli above. 65. Loose cumuli and patches of scud, 
all nearly stationary. 7", As at 65: a few patches of etched scud lying low. 84. Loose cumuli : 
q 9). Cirro-cumuli. 
28 20—29 5. 20%. Scud: light mist or drizzle: the vane pointing N. but no wind, 23%, Loose eumuli moving 
rather quickly: sky in detached patches. 2. Cumuli. 5. Detached cumuli round horizon. 
29 20—30 5. 20". Send, like cedar branches to E, and N.: clouds above stationary. 22" 10™, The clouds 
are principally cirro-cumuli, lying in lines from S by W., with scud below moving from NE. 
23" 40™, Haze clearing off, and a long line of ill-defined cirro-cumuli lying N. and S., and moving 
from S by W.: detached cumuli moving more slowly than before: haze in all parts of the sky, 
excepting the zenith: some clouds are moving from NNW. 0%. Principally cirrous haze, about 
1} tenths of cumuli: streaks of pure blue sky to E.: stormy-looking. 25. Haze, 23 tenths of 
cumuli: the sun projects a visible shadow. 5". Diffuse cirro-cumuli and haze: watery-looking 
cumuli on horizon : sky appearing to W. 
30 20—31 5. 20". Clear. 23%. Detached cumuli, rather loose on the edges: linear cirriabove. 2. Cumuli: 
q linear cirri above, pointing first from WNW., then from W by S., moving from NW.: immense 
piles of white cumuli moving very slowly. 55. Sky principally covered with cirrous haze and 
linear cirri: cumuli moving very slowly : loose cumuli rising from SW., where it is very black : 
' well-defined cumuli on NE. horizon. 
31 20—31 28. Scud. 20%. Other clouds above stationary. 23°. Occasional showers. 
SEPTEMBER. 
1 21 8. 2. Scud: loose cumuli above moving slowly: linear cirri highest pointing from W by N. 
54, Scud: cirrous haze, &c. above, stationary or moving very slowly. 8". The sky presents a very 
strange appearance: large dense masses of scud like smoke are creeping along N. and 8. horizon 
A from westward ; thin fleecy masses of the same move quickly across the zenith from W.: near the 
NW., where the sun is setting, above the scud are masses of cirro-strati, tinged with white edges,
