1 on black-lead there were spikes in rich clusters ; those forming one cluster all emanated from the same point, and they were inclined at all angles; 
lc the spikes were very numerous, being about three-eighths of an inch in thickness, and inclined to the horizon at an angle of about 30°, and at all 
) that each cluster formed a circle, in the centre of which there were no spikes : on sand there were spikes one-fourth of an inch in length, inclined at 
1 the horizon : chalk was covered with a mass of spikes one-fourth of an inch in length : whiting was covered with rich bunches of spikes three-eighths 
n length : flax was covered with small sparkling flakes of ice : raw wool was encrusted on each fibre so as to be about six times its own size : cotton 
nnpletely covered with spikes, and paper was covered with small round particles and a few spikes. 
L7 1 11 50 m . At this time the sky was overcast and the readings of all the thermometers were nearly alike ; at 18 h 0 m the instruments were read exhibiting
