SPECIES OF CLoUDs, &c. 
. Linear cirri pointing NNE. and SSW., cirrous haze. 
. Patches of mottled cirri + cirri as before, but so thick to S. that the sun’s rays project but a faint shadow, a line of small cumulo-stratus to N. 
. Thick cirrous clouds to SE., fine curl, woolly, and linear cirri, the latter pointing N. and S. ? 
Flame, woolly and reticulated cirri, the latter pointing N. by E. and S. by W., cirrous clouds and cumuli

. A few linear cirri to E. pointing N. and S. 
- Quite clear. 
. Snowing. The wind has been very high during the night, but the vane of the Anemometer has been frozen up; the present force might be esti-

dis: loose cumuli on NE. horizon, cirrous scud to §.; sky red to N. and NE. 
3 itd? ; linear cirri to W. lying N. and &., haze to S§. 
Thin woolly cirri.

. Loose cumuli on N. horizon, woolly cirri and woolly-edged cumuli to S. 
Patches of seud + loose cumuli to N., cumulo-strati to S. 
Seud, clearing off rapidly. 
Woolly cirri, a range of cumulo-strati to SE. 
. A small patch of woolly cirrus to SE.

Id. 
[of rain. 
Loose strings of scud, very low and moving rapidly : thick send, slowly + cirrous clouds ; occasional drops 
Thin scud : thick scud + cirrous clouds; large banks of white clouds to SE.; clouds blue to E.

Scud and cirrous clouds, 
Scud. Wind in gusts. 
Seud. 
Cirri chiefly linear. A coloured lunar corona, the innermost colour is a bluish-white of about 2 diameters in breadth, next yellow of 2 diameter, 
next a brownish or reddish colour of # diameter, next light-blue 14 diameter; the corona becomes elliptical, the major axis lying in the 
direction of the linear cirri which are probably a principal cause of it; red is afterwards seen to the outside of the blue and the inner 
red becomes yellowish or orange: the appearance of the clouds is very strange, the mass of clouds from the zenith to the SE. is a kind of 
cirro-cumuli, all which, in a radius of 30° from the SE. is intensely red; the clouds over the whole sky are more or less tinged with red. 
Seud: cirro-cumuli and woolly cirri+linear cirri to E. pointing N. by W., masses of loose cumuli on E. horizon, cumulo-strati to N. 
Cirrous scud, mottled, linear, speckled, and contorted cirri, large woolly cirro-cumuli, the clouds have a 
strange appearance, the scud seems spreading out into a sort of cirro-cumuli and mottled cirro-strati. 
. Scud + woolly, mottled, and striated cirri lying E. to W., loose cumuli on E. horizon, cumuli-strati to N.
