Tuesday, 27th, was dry, bright, and calm. Wednesday forenoon, bright, 

 rather cold, with a fresh breeze from W. Aneroid barometer read at 

 9, A. M., 28-88. Fresh breeze all day; cumulous clouds, and partial 

 showers. Towards evening the breeze died away ; western horizon ob- 

 scured by cumuli at sunset. The moon, which rose about half-past 5, p. m., 

 appeared of great size, and verj^red, tinging the clouds which hung over it. 

 Indeed, any one not knowing the bearings, and brought suddenly to the

 was pretty free from clouds, and there was a faint halo about the moon, 

 but at 11 it was quite clear ; sky cloudy towards the west ; calm. Baro- 

 meter 28-64.
