June 26.—The morning of this day was very hot and fine; at the time of 
leaving the earth the sky was cloudy, and there was a continued succession 
of strata of dry and wet fogs, of warm and cold currents; and rain and snow 
were both met with ; the former at the height of 10,000 feet on ascending, and 
at 14,000 feet on descending, the snow being situated below the rain on 
descending, at the height of 13,000 feet. 
Between 14,000 feet and 20,000 feet there was a very remarkable warm 
current, and another, but to a less amount, at 22,000. On descending, whilst 
passing through rain and snow, or between 10,000 and 17,000 feet, there 
was scarcely any change of temperature. The results of this day are ano- 
malous.
