128 REMARKS ON THE WEATHER. 1842. 
SEPTEMBER. 
cumuli from NE by N.: another current from ENE., which appears to be edging round by S. 
2h, Loose cumuli from N by E., apparently another current from about E.: cumuli on E. horizon; 
dh  d_h sky there and in zenith. 5". Scud: loose cumuli. 
27 20—28 5. 20. Scud: clouds breaking. 23%. Send: light rain, 2%, Seud: sky in zenith and to N. 
54, Scud: cirro-cumuli. 
28 20—29 5. 205. Loose cumuli. 23". Scud: sky to W. with cumuli: rain to E.: a smart shower in a few 
minutes. 2. Loose cumuli. 5. Well-defined and loose cumuli: scud very low: part of a rain- 
bow to NE. 
29 20—30 5. 20". Cirro-cumuli moving slowly from ENE., lying in a stratum from NNE. 234, Cumuli, 
detached and in ranges on horizon. 2. Loose cumuli moving slowly. 5%. Loose and well-defined 
cumuli : cumulo-strati on horizon. 
30 20—30 23. 20%. A dense mass round horizon, like cirro-cumuli stratified on the edges: a long line of loose 
cirro-cumuli moving across the zenith; above this are patches of flame cirri, 23". Cumuli and 
large cirro-cumuli: sky to W., and through the interstices of the cirro-cumuli, which become quite 
thick to E. 
OCTOBER. 
2—1 5 2h, Scud, and two currents of loose cumuli. 55. Large cirro-cumuli. 
2 20—3 5 20", Thin scud: other clouds higher: sky to N. 235. Scud and loose cumuli: patches of 
sky to S. 2. Scud and a kind of cirrous haze: ragged cumuli: patches of sky to N. and §, : 
the sun projects a strong shadow through the haze. 5", Cumulo-strati and seud: linear cirri above 
all to 8. 
3 20—4 5. 20%. A strip of cirro-stratus on NE. horizon ; the ground covered with hoar-frost for two hours 
after this. 23%, Detached cumuli to N., moving very slowly. 25. Detached bits of loose cumuli 
and a few linear cirri to 8. 5, A few patches of cirro-stratus to S.: hazy on E. horizon. 
4 20—5 5. 20". Scud : large cirro-cumuli, &c. above. 23". Large cirro-cumuli and cumuli, 2%, Hazy 
seud. 5. Scud and loose cumuli: patches of sky round horizon: in some places to E. the sky is 
quite green: rain to NE. and E. 
5 20—6 5. 205. A thin film of fine linear cirri over the whole sky: thick cirro-strati to SE. and E. 
23", Nests of cirrus, flamed here and there, cover almost the whole sky, and move slowly from N. : 
detached cumuli below from NW. 22, Cirrous-edged cumuli: scud: a thin film of linear cirri 
over the sky: wind in gusts. 5", Scud: cirro-cumuli: cirrous haze. 
20". Fine cirri, becoming haze ; in some places like great brushes, the hairs lying from WNW. : 
seud below. 235, Thin detached patches of scud: sky covered with a thin film of linear cirri; 
the cirri in some places gathered into nests like loose cirro-cumuli, becoming haze near the horizon. 
2h. As at 23; the seud in large masses. 5". Nearly as at 23"; the cirrous nests lying in lines 
from WNW., and apparently moving from about NNW. ; in some places like foam. 
7 20—8 5. 20%. Scud. 23". Large loose cirro-cumuli: quite thick towards the E.: sky at the interstices 
of the cirro-cumuli and to NW.: the clouds seem very high, and the vault has a more expansive 
appearance than usual: the clouds breaking up. 2", Detached patches of cumuli: fine linear and 
curled cirri pointing WNW. ; the linear cirrus becomes haze near the horizon; in some places it 
is mottled, reticulated, and flamed; the cumuli becomes cumulo-strati on horizon. 5%, Linear, 
mottled, and curled cirri, gathered into nests in some places, and becoming haze near the horizon. 
9 20—10 5. 20". Scud: different kinds of cirrous clouds above. 235. Scud and loose cumuli; the portion 
that is considered sky is nearly covered with a fine film of linear and slightly pectinated cirri, 
pointing N, and §.; in some places it becomes haze. 2. Zigzag linear and mottled cirri: cir- 
rous haze: a few patches of seud. 5%. Nearly as at 2"; the cirri becoming slightly hazy. 
10 20—11 5. 205. Send. 23", Linear cirri to N. and S., becoming haze to N., and lying E. and W.: a few 
patches of loose cumuli to N. 2". A thin film of cirrous haze to N.: linear cirri to S.: cumuli 
to E, 5", 124 tenths of loose cumuli; the rest a kind of woolly cirro-cumuli: cirro-strati on 
horizon. 
11 20—12 5. 20, Linear cirri, all to E.; some of the cirri like waves: it has been frost during the night, 
and there is still a little hoar-frost. 23%. Cumuli to N.: different kinds of cirri over the sky. 
2%. Cirri of different kinds, principally linear and waved, like one side of a feather, the middle 
pointing WNW., and the fibres pointing SSW. 5%. Chiefly woolly cirri, like large feathers, 
with the curl upwards: cirro-strati on N. horizon.
