Thin scud, cirrous clouds ; showers ; scud low on Cheviot. W 



Scud ; cirrous clouds. W 



Woolly cirro-cumuli and cirro-cumulo-strati. B 



Id. -I— cirro-strati and linear cirri to NW. B 



Scud and loose cumuli -i— cirro-strati to E. and W. ; patches of mottled cirri. [strati to se. W 



Cirrous-edged cumuli, moving very slowly, apparently acted on by different currents : feathered linear cirri to W. pointing from SSW. -4- cirro- W^ 



Cirrous-edged cumuli, as before : masses of cirro-cumuli, rather large at the middle and getting gradually smaller, till at the edges they become 



small points almost indistinguishable from haze, the cirro-cumuli move faster than the cumuli -i- cirro-strati and haze to SE. "H/" 



Ragged-edged cumuli from W., the edges near the zenith breaking into zigzag cirrous fragments, which 



move in various directions -i— woolly cirri ; hazy to E. B 



Ragged-edged cumuli as before : linear cirri, cirro-cumuli of all sizes, small cumulo-strati, &c. -t- cumulo-strati ; cirrous haze to E. B 



Cumuli and scud : beautiful ranges of cirro-cumuli to E., flame-cirri in zenith, mottled cirri to W. all lying from SSW to NNE. AV 



Cirro-cumuli, cirro-strati, and cirrous haze. W 



Loose cumuli, the edges broken into patches which dissipate -t— thick mass of linear cirri to E., range of 



small cumuli to NNE., heavy mist on the ground. B

Cumuli on S. horizon. W 



Scud to S. and W. : flame-cirri to W. -t— cumuli on S. horizon. W 



Cirro-cumulo-strati ; a streak of hazy cirrus moving across the face of the moon. W 



i. Cirro-cumulous scud : cirrous clouds over the sky, in uniform sheets having a sort of stratified form point- 

 ing from NNW. to SSE., the lowest portions of it becoming cirro-cumulous at the edges. B 



L Patches of scud •<- homogeneous cirrous mass through which the sun is seen like a bright spot one-half liis diameter : a bright strip to E. B 



Linear cirri and cirrous haze -t— cirro-strati near horizon ; patches of scud. W
