REMARKS ON THE WEATHER. 1842. 
OCTOBER. 
to NE., very gray ; like a voleano burning in one place: linear cirri to S.: sky rather indescrib- 
able: most of the scud cirrous, 23". Vertebrated cirri lying N. and S.: cumuli to NW. and SE.: 
masses of cirrous scud and loose cumuli to W. 2". Loose cumuli: fine woven or reticulated cirri, 
the thickest lines lying N. and S.: cirrous haze to E.: woolly cirri in zenith becoming cirro-cumuli 
in some places: wind varying. 5". Cirro-cumulous scud : a kind of woolly cirri seen above. 
20", Loose cirro-cumuli on horizon from N., round by E.toS. 23". Cirro-strati to E. : linear cirri 
to W., like circles crossing in long arches from NNE. to WSW. 24. The sky to W. covered with 
cirri so close as almost to become haze; the structure is well seen to E., where there are fine hollow 
lines concave to N., with a foamy kind of line at right angles moving from NNW.; these lines are 
less distinct and lower than the first, being like bundles of woolly cirri: a few patches of cumuli to 
E., and cumulo-strati on E. horizon. 5". Loose cirro-cumuli, like scud, covering six-tenths of the 
sky : linear cirri and cirrous haze above: cirro-strati to S. 
20%, Large loose cirro-cumuli, which become a sort of sandy-like cirrous cloud round horizon. 
23". Cirro-cumuli and cirrous haze above: loose cumuli and scud below: the cirro-cumuli largest 
in zenith: patches of small cirro-cumuli in the haze to S. 2%. Hazy: cirrous clouds highest, 
rippled, like sand on the sea-shore : cirro-stratous scud ; some of the cirrous clouds are cirro-cumu- 
lous ; a general grayish-blue appearance. 5%. Hazy cirri: scud below: the clouds have all sorts 
of colours, grayish-blue, deep blue, orange, red, white, &c.: vertebrated cirri: a range of cumulus, 
extending about 50° along E. horizon, like a long pillar lying on its side. 
20%. Smoky scud from WSW, : another current of scud higher from N. by W.: beautiful cirri 
highest from about W.; the cirrus is mottled, woolly, and linear, some of it like swan-down. 
23. Loose irregular cirro-cumuli: cirro-strati to N. and S.: cumuli of different kinds to E, : 
cirrous haze to N. 
NOVEMBER. 
25, Loose cirro-cumuli: cirrous haze to N.: cirro-strati and loose cumulo-strati to N. and NE. 
54, Cirrous cirro-cumuli, coloured gray, fringed with red ; thick to E. and S., where they assume 
a stratified form. 
20%. Thin ragged scud, apparently touching the ground about three miles distant: cirri seen 
above. 235, Scud; neither so thin nor so low as at 20%. 2. Scud moving very slowly: sky on 
E. and SE. horizon ; occasionally patches in zenith. 5%, Scud; motion very slow: cirrous clouds 
are now seen where the sky was at 23. 
205, Scud. 23%, Cumulo-strati and large loose cirro-cumuli, both dropping a little rain; the 
cumulo-strati lowest. 2. Loose cumuli. 5". Scud round horizon, principally to E., in long 
strata descending in showers: cirro-cumulous patches crossing the zenith: the sky quite gray. 
20. Cirro-cumulous scud, with masses of it and heavy gray cumuli round horizon; to the N. 
they are like a gray curtain ; to the S. some of the cumuli have cirrous crowns, forming nimbi; 
and some of the cumuli tops are now tipped with red. 23". Piles of cumulo-strati on horizon ; 
nimbi to SE. and §., crowned with cirrus: small patches of scud: showers occasionally ; the ex- 
tremity of a rainbow seen within 100 yards. 2". Beautiful cumulo-strati and cirrous-crowned 
nimbi, principally near horizon : loose cirro-cumuli in zenith: shower of small hail about an hour 
ago: showers every half-hour: wind varying. 5%, Large masses of loose cumuli and nimbi: 
shower to E. approaching,—here in five minutes. 
20%. A sort of loose cirro-cumuli and seud, falling in rain in many places, and here occasionally : 
a few fine cirro-cumuli seen above. 23%. Nimbi dropping like pencils: a sort of cirro-cumulous 
disposition of cloud: showers around: extremities of rainbows seen occasionally : the quantity of 
clouds often more or less: light shower of the most minute drops. 2. Scud and nimbi: smart 
shower of very fine rain: large cirro-cumuli above: very dark to W. and N. 65%. Seud, cumuli, 
and nimbi: sky quite hazy to E.: about 10° above the E. point of the horizon is a large patch of 
flesh-red : showers. 
20%. Cirro-cumulous scud: rain to S. 23". Nearly as before ; sky on NW. horizon: sunshine 
oceasionally. 2. Thicker than at 23"; no sunshine. 5". Loose or ragged cirro-cumuli moving 
from SSW.; a little ago from SSE.?: sky on S. horizon, where it is white; red to E.: snow on 
Cheviot. 
204, Cirrous and loose cirro-cumuli: sky very calm: linear cirri: the sky almost covered with
