Overcast, a. m, apparently with Cirrostratus from Cirruss during the middle of the day this gave place to Cumulostratus. * 3. a.'m. Oferčast, calm, with dew on the grass : showers followed : after which Cumulus and Cirrus. 4. Much dew: Cirrus, followed by Cirrostratus): a few large drops about sun-set. 5. Much dew': Cirrus." 6. The same : low Cunuli prevailed afterwards, some of them capped with Cirrostrati: then a shallow bed o£ Cumulostratus, ending at sun-set in Cirrostratus: the evening twilight opake, dewy, and suffused mulus, beneath Cirrocumulus : a strong breeze : a mixture of Cirrostratus and Cirrus gave e the clouds an appearance of active elecericity, but the whole ended in Cirrostratus. 9. A confused mixture of the modifications, as yesterday, with the addition of haze; some drops, by 10 a. m, and a shower, showers, a.m.: cloudy, p.n. 11. Wind, a. m. S. W.: the clouds, mingled with the smoke of the city, came back from the E. at sun-set. 12. a. m. The clouds gathered pele mele, the Cumulus capping : p.m. the Nimbus appeared, and after sonte distant thunder to S.W. we had a shower 13. a. m. Cirrus, Cirrocumulus : much dew, the large drops of which sparkled in the sun with the prismatic colours: various modifications of cloud followed : about one p. m. it thondered, N.: theu nearer, with lightning, S.: the wind shifting to that point, we had a heavy shower froin W. with hail : wind and rain at night. 14. 2. m. Cloudy, windy : Cumulo

. stratus : a little snpw; swallows skimming the meadows. 15. Cumulus, succeeded by Cumulostratus: the wind moderate. 16. "The same : there were indications of hoar frost this morning. 17. Hoar frost : Cumulostratus: at night Cërrostratus

, and a lunar corona.

18. a. m. A few drops during the union of soine clouds, which became Cumulastralus. 19. a. m. Loose Cumulus : at night Cirrus, and afterwards a very large white lunar halo. 20. Overcast, dripping: a hail shower, p. m.: at uight a lunar halo, very small, the prismatic ring touching a corona within: 21. Much cloud and wind : wet foreroor and night : the greatest depression of the barometer that has occurred in the present year. 22, 23, Much cloud, windy: rain, at intervals. 24, Windy : eloudy: rain, a, m. with a little hail : in the evening the Cumula: dispersed rapidly, with Nimbir and Cirrostrati in the horizon. 25.
