Abstract
OUT of a large quantity of hailstones collected here after the storm had subsided, and which were therefore partly melted, I selected one of the largest. The subjoined boundary line is the measure of a section of this hailstone through the poles, the form of it being a prolate spheroid, flattened on two sides, like a confectionary lozenge, if I may employ so vulgar a comparison. Many of the hailstones, however, as they fell, were jagged pieces, of ice, the like of which I have never seen.
