DECEMBER. 



3 5 Scud. 



4 20 — 5 5. 20''. Scud : clouds breaking. 23''. Beautifully mottled cirri, radiating from SW. and NE. ;

5 20 — 6 5. 20''. Foggy : rain lately : the vane points from NE. 23'' — 2''. Thick mist since 20'' ; cleared 



off now : not a breath of wind. 5''. Flocculent cirro-cumuli and scud ; motion scarcely perceptible : 

 mists rising from the ground. 



6 20 — 7 5. 20''. Homogeneous. 23''. Scud : clouds breaking : small patches of sky. 2''. Scud and loose 



cumulo-strati : linear cirri and cirrous haze above. 5*'. Cirro-stratus scud : cirro-cumulous clouds 

 above : clouds red to SW. 



7 20 — 8 5. 20'', Loose cumulo-strati or scud : cirrous clouds over the sky : red to E. 23'' — 5''. Cirro- 



cumulous scud. 



8 20 — 9 5. 20''. Homogeneous : gray. 23''. Scotch mist. 2**. Mist still : scud : clouds breaking : a patch

9 20 — 10 5. 20''. Thick mist. 23''. Thick mist : scud : patches of sky : cirrous clouds seen above : in a 



few minutes the quantity of clouds 8. 2''. Mist and light rain. 5''. Cirro-cumulous scud : an 

 hour ago the quantity of clouds was 8. 



11 20 — 12 5. 20''. Dark: light rain: sky to SSE. 23''. Scud, with lightest rain : patches of hazy sky to 



SSE., with very gray clouds. 2'' — 5''. Scud : light rain.

13 20 — 14 5. 20^". Scud: patches of sky covered with cirrous clouds to SE. 23''. A sort of cirrous scud, 



rather cirro-cumulous in its disposition. 2''. Sky covered with masses of cirrous clouds, some of 

 them very low ; large white mass to N., moving very slowly : the sky greenish-blue to SE. 5''. 

 Thick cirrous clouds, lighter here and there.

 few cirrous clouds higher, moving very slowly : sky hazy. 



15 20 — 16 5. 20''. Cirrous clouds : it is difficult to tell what is sky and what is not, on account of the cirrous 



haze : cumulo-strati and cirro-strati on horizon. 23''. Scud : misty drizzle. 2''. Scud : cirrous 

 clouds above : cumuli to E. 5''. Scud : a few patches of sky to E. and S. : occasionally drops of
