4. Loose cumuli. 
_ 6, Masses of cirrous seud + thick cirrous haze oyer the sky; half of a solar halo seen, radius about 23°; the space within the halo is much darker 
’ than without it, being dark gray; the edge of the halo is brownish and passes into the bluish-white of the cirrous haze without.

. Detached masses of cumuli and scud round horizon: long strips of flame-like cirri rising from woolly 
cirri, pointing from WNW.; sheets of cirri to SW. appear superimposed upon each other. 
Cirrous clouds; rather large cirro-cumuli lying in rows towards SSE. with sheets of woolly cirri interspersed. 
Thick cirrous pipaaee cirro-cumuli to W.; cirro-strati and linear cirri to E. lying NNW. to SSE. ; patches of scud on N. and S. horizon, 
Seud : cirro-cumuli, in sheets radiating from NW.; the sky very stormy like. 
Nearly as before.

4, Cumuli and cirrous scud. 
6. Cirro-cumulous scud (as throughout the day) ; masses of cumuli on horizon to SE. 
8. Cirro-cumulous scud.

Scud + irregular cirro-cumuli. 
Id., low and moving quickly : large loose cirro-cumuli, slowly + finer cirro-cumuli and linear cirri. 
: Seud + cirrous clouds, principally large cirro-cumuli with fine linear and woolly cirri; cumulo-strati to E. 
} 0. Loose-edged cumuli in two currents + cumulo-strati on horizon; fine linear and woolly cirri and cirrous haze. 
In a short time the great mass of the scud and cumuli are from W. by S.: sea-gulls flying very high.
