Aug. 2 J, 1814. Thomas Forster. 



* I ascended Coder Idris tliis afternoon. When at the top, several scud- 

 like cumuli, and such as feed the showers, passed helow lue tiirough the 

 valleys. The cumuli in nt'neral, at least their bases, appeared very little 

 aljovc me ; but cirrostratus and cirrus as hijih when seen from the top ot 

 the mountain as when viewed from behjw. The flimsy irregular cirrocu- 

 niulative cirrostratus in patches seemed highest of all.
