128 EEMARKS ON THE WEATHEK. 1842. 



SEPTEMBER. 



cumuli from NE by N. : another current from ENE., which appears to be edging round by S. 

 2'*. Loose cumuli from N by E., apparently another current from about E. : cumuli on E. horizon ; 

 d h (1 h sky there and in zenith. 5*^. Scud : loose cumuli. 



27 20—28 5. 20''. Scud : clouds breaking. 23^ Scud : light rain. 2^ Scud : sky in zenith and to N. 



5'\ Scud : cirro-cumuli. 



28 20 — 29 5. 20'". Loose cumuli. 23'^. Scud : sky to W. with cumuli : rain to E. : a smart shower in a few 



minutes. 2^. Loose cumuli, b^. Well-defined and loose cumuli : scud very low : part of a rain- 

 bow to NE. 



29 20 — 30 5. 20''. Cirro-cumuli moving slowly from ENE., lying in a stratum from NNE. 23''. Cumuli, 



detached and in ranges on horizon. 2^. Loose cumuli moving slowly, b^. Loose and well-defined 

 cumuli : cumulo-strati on horizon. 



30 20 — 30 23. 20''. A dense mass round horizon, like cirro-cumuli stratified on the edges : a long line of loose 



cirro-cumuli moving across the zenith ; above this are patches of flame cirri. 23''. Cumuli and 

 large cirro-cumuli: sky to W., and through the interstices of the cirro-cumuli, which become quite 

 thick to E. 



OCTOBER. 



1 2—1 5. 2''. Scud, and two currents of loose cumuli. 5''. Large cirro-cumuli. 



2 20 — 3 5. 20''. Thin scud : other clouds higher : sky to N. 23''. Scud and loose cumuli : patches of 



sky to S. 2''. Scud and a kind of cirrous haze : ragged cumuli : patches of sky to N. and S. : 

 the sun projects a strong shadow through the haze. 5''. Cumulo-strati and scud : linear cirri above 

 all to S. 



3 20 — 4 5. 20**. A strip of cirro-stratus on NE. horizon ; the ground covered with hoar-frost for two hours 



after this. 23''. Detached cumuli to N., moving very slowly. 2''. Detached bits of loose cumuli 

 and a few linear cirri to S. 5''. A few patches of cirro-stratus to S. : hazy on E. horizon. 



4 20 — 5 5. 20''. Scud : large cirro-cumuli, &c. above. 23''. Large cirro-cumuli and cumuli. 2''. Hazy 



scud. 5''. Scud and loose cumuli : patches of sky round horizon : in some places to E. the sky is 

 quite green : rain to NE. and E. 



5 20 — 6 5. 20''. A thin film of fine linear cirri over the whole sky : thick cirro-strati to SE. and E. 



23''. Nests of cirrus, flamed here and there, cover almost the whole sky, and move slowly from N. : 

 detached cumuli below from NW. 2''. Cirrous-edged cumuli : scud : a thin film of linear cirri 

 over the sky : wind in gusts. 5''. Scud : cirro-cumuli : cirrous haze. 



6 20 — 7 5. 20''. Fine cirri, becoming haze ; in some places like gi'eat brushes, the hairs lying from WNW. : 



scud below. 23''. Thin detached patches of scud: sky covered with a thin film of linear cirri; 

 the cirri in some places gathered into nests like loose cirro-cumuli, becoming haze near the horizon. 

 2**. As at 23'' ; the scud in large masses. 5''. Nearly as at 23'' ; the cirrous nests lying in Unes 

 from WNW., and apparently moving from about NNW. ; in some places like foam. 



7 20 — 8 5. 20''. Scud. 23''. Large loose ciiTO-cumuli : quite thick towards the E. : sky at the interstices 



of the cirro-cumuli and to NW. : the clouds seem very high, and the vault has a more expansive 

 appearance than usual : the clouds breaking up. 2''. Detached patches of cumuli : fine linear and 

 curled cirri pointing WNW. ; the linear cirrus becomes haze near the horizon ; in some places it 

 is mottled, reticulated, and flamed ; the cumuli becomes cumulo-strati on horizon. 5''. Linear, 

 mottled, and curled cirri, gathered into nests in some places, and becoming haze near the horizon. 

 9 20 — 10 5. 20''. Scud : different kinds of cirrous clouds above. 23''. Scud and loose cumuli ; the portion 

 that is considered sky is nearly covered with a fine film of linear and slightly pectinated cirri, 

 pointing N. and S. ; in some places it becomes haze. 2''. Zigzag linear and mottled cirri : cir- 

 rous haze : a few patches of scud. 5''. Nearly as at 2'' ; the cirri becoming slightly hazy. 



10 20 — 11 5. 20''. Scud. 23''. Linear cirri to N. and S., becoming haze to N., and lying E. and W. : a few 



patches of loose cumuli to N. 2''. A thin film of cirrous haze to N. : linear cirri to S. : cumuh 

 to E. 5''. 1^- tenths of loose cumuli ; the rest a kind of woolly cirro-cumuli : cirro-strati on 

 horizon. 



11 20 — 12 6. 20''. Linear cirri, all to E. ; some of the cirri like waves : it has been frost during the night, 



and there is still a little hoar-frost. 23''. Cumuli to N. : different kinds of cirri over the sky. 

 2''. Cirri of different kinds, principally linear and waved, like one side of a feather, the middle 

 pointing WNW., and the fibres pointing SSW. 5''. Chiefly woolly cirri, like large feathers, 

 with the curl upwards : cirro-strati on N. horizon.
