2. Thunder-storm, vivid flashes of lightning and loud peals of thunder; the thunder-clouds about a mile distant: scud and heavy cumuli • beau- 
tiful pinnacled cumulo-strati to E., cirrous haze ; heavy rain ; storm moving off to WNW. 
4. Scud and cumuli, very dark and electric to W. -•— cirrous clouds and linear cirri ; the thunder-storm con-
