I' Cirrous scud -t- mottled cirri ; occasional drops of rain. 



J. Scud +■ beautifully mottled and striated cirri ; cirro-cumuli becoming very thick to S. ; the cirro-cumuli which cover the greater part of the sky 

 lie in strata like fine snow-balls, in one place very distinct and separated from smaller ones by a sort of hazy edge, they get larger and more 

 hazy to S. ; the striated cirri are also of an uncommon kind, being like thick cirrous clouds lying in fine lines on the top of each other. 



'. Patches of scud +- clouds of a thick, fibrous, woven, wavy texture, like a sort of cloth or matting; the line of hollows is from SSE. to WNW., 

 giving a stratified appearance ; the fibres lie from WSW. or SW. by W., a few lines crossing from NNW. Pure and linear cirri in thick 

 masses to NE., cirro-cumuli, also in strata ; a few strips of sky to NE. ; in a few minutes the cirri to N. point from WNW., there is a large 

 bank of white cloud to W., below which the scud appears to come. 



I:. Flocculent and striated thick muddled cirri and cirro-stratus, moving slowly.
