Eepokt on the Effects of a Hailstorm to Gkowing 

 Timber Crops. By Hugh C. Sampson, B.Sc. 



(Read 13th March 1902.) 



On 12th June 1900, at Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, a 

 very violent thunderstorm, accompanied by hail, occurred, 

 and did a considerable amount of damage both to property 

 and to vegetation generally. This happened at about three 

 o'clock in the afternoon, when we could see and almost 

 feel the approaching storm. The sky became so overcast 

 that it was impossible to read in the house. The rumbling 

 of the thunder gradually became louder, and the flashes of 

 lightning more vivid. The threatening clouds came from 

 the S.E.
