Dr. R. Angus Smith, F.R.S., described a remarkable fog 
which he saw in Iceland. It appeared to rise from a small 
lake and from the sea at about the same time, when it 
rolled from both places and the two streams met in the 
town of Reykjavik. It had the appearance of dust, and 
was called dust by some persons there at first sight. This 
arose from the great size of the particles of which it was 
composed. They were believed to be from 400 th to -south 
of an inch in diameter. They did not show any signs of 
being vesicular, but through a small magnifier looked like 
transparent concrete globules of water. They were con- 
tinually tending downwards, and their place was supplied 
by others that rolled over.
