REMARKS 
Third Month. 27. Hoar frost : large spreading Cirri. 
28. Temperature 60® in the evening 2 g. Overcast sky. 
30. A veil of Cirro stratus a. m. The Cumulus afterwards 
shewed itself, and a slight shower ensued. 
Fourth Month. 1. Stormy, with rain. 2. Hoarfrost- 
a sprinkhng of opaque hail about sun-rise. Several showers of 
this and some rain, during the day. 3. Hoarfrost: Cumulus 
a. m. Showers of snow, and of opaque hail p. m. 5 a m. 
Ciriostratus ; wetand windy. 10. Cirrus and Cumulus clouds: the 
N. E. wind increases in strength : the mornings have been misty 
of late, and there have been plentiful dews, in consequence of 
the great difference between the temperature of day and night. 
15. Wind boisterous in the evening 16. Cloudy a., m. 
17- Slight showers. 20. From the 7tb of this month we have 
had summer-like days and cold nights : the roads have become 
very dusty, and the earth considerably dry. 21. Some clouds 
of a threatening appearance from the N. E. in the evening 
attended with depression of temperature. 22. p. m. hasty 
showers, mixed with hail $ after which steady small rain till 
evening. 23. Cloudy : several scanty hail showers from 
large Nimbus clouds passing over. During the approach of 
one of these, a slender tapering, and somewhat twisted column, 
appeared in front, detached from the main body, and reaching 
down to the earth in the manner of a water spout. In a few 
minutes, by spreading on all sides, it became incorporated with 
the rest of the shower. This is not a very uncommon ap- 
pearance, but I have seldom seen it so perfectly exhibited.
