The direction of the wind is indicated by the number of the point of the compass, reckoning N. = 0, E.=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. 
Dec. 44. A new vane, composed of oiled silk stretched on a light frame of wood, erected instead of the turkey-feather one.
