PLATE CLV. FRACTO-CIRRO-STRATUS. 



From a pencil drawing made in M'Murdo Sound, looking across to the S.-W. from 

 Winter- quarters Bay. 



The high broken cirrus here shown is characteristic of the Antarctic region, 

 and is often accompanied by very magnificent colour effects during spring and 

 autumn, when the sun moves low on the horizon for hours together.
