8. Thin scud, cirrous clouds ; showers ; scud low on Cheviot. 
10. Scud ; cirrous clouds. 
18. Woolly cirro-cumuli and cirro-cumulo-strati. 
20. Id. -t— cirro-strati and linear cirri to NW. 
22. Scud and loose cumuli -t— cirro-strati to E. and W. ; patches of mottled cirri. [strati to se. 
0. Cirrous-edged cumuli, moving very slowly, apparently acted on by different currents : feathered linear cirri to W. pointing from SSW. +- cirro- 
2. 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 +- cirro-strati and haze to SE. 
4. Ragged-edged cumuli from W., the edges near the zenith breaking into zigzag cirrous fragments, which 
move in various directions -»— woolly cirri ; hazy to E. 
6. Ragged-edged cumuli as before : linear cirri, cirro-cumuli of all sizes, small cumulo-strati, &c. +- cumulo-strati ; cirrous haze to E. 
8. Cumuli and scud : beautiful ranges of cirro-cumuli to E., flame-cirri in zenith, mottled cirri to W. all lying from SSW to NNE. 
10. Cirro-cumuli, cirro-strati, and cirrous haze. 
18. Loose cumuli, the edges broken into patches which dissipate -i— thick mass of linear cirri to E., range of 
small cumuli to NNE., heavy mist on the ground. 
20. Two currents of scud. 
22. Cirrous-edged cumuli -t— patches of cirri. 
0. Id. and scud. 
2. Id. 
4. Ragged-edged cumuli, in ranges on S. horizon. 
6. Cumuli on S. horizon. 
8. Scud to S. and W. : flame-cirri to W. +- cumuli on S. horizon. 
10. Cirro-cumulo-strati ; a streak of hazy cirrus moving across the face of the moon. 
18. 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. 
20. Patches of scud +- homogeneous cirrous mass through which the sun is seen like a bright spot one-half his diameter : a bright strip to E. 
22. Linear cirri and cirrous haze -t— cirro-strati near horizon ; patches of scud. 
0. Scud, moving slowly -i- thick cirrous haze.

6. Scud. 
8. Cirro-cumulous scud : flame and linear cirri ->— cirro-strati to W. 
10. Cirro-cumulous scud, cirrous clouds and haze all deeply tinged with red at 9 h ; patches of cirro-cumuli.
