The direction of the wind is indicated by the number of the point of the compass, reckoning N. = 0, H. = 8,8. = 16, W.= 24. The 
motions of the three strata of clouds, Sc. (seud), C.-s. (cirro-stratus), and Ci. (cirrus), are indicated in a similar manner. 
Aug. 254105 5m, A very brilliant meteor was seen moving from about # Herculis to Arcturus, exploding about 2° N. of Arcturus ; its 
diameter was about 10’ or 12’ ; it was of a bright white light, leaving a train of reddish sparks; its form changed rapidly during its course 
and after its disappearance, a small red ball continued for 5° or 6° in the same direction ; the meteor moved over about 30° in about 3s.
