Abstract
DR. HALE CARPENTER'S letter brings out one feature which has never, to my knowledge, been noted in a waterspout, namely, the sheath, separated from the main body of the whirl by a clear space. Wegener, in his book on “Windund Wasser-hosen in Europa,” gives illustrations of a large number of waterspouts, but in no case is there mention of two trunks one within the other. The nearest approach to the phenomenon noted by Dr. Hale Carpenter is the not infrequent occurrence of waterspouts which show two clearly defined parts, an upper thick column with a lower whirl of much smaller thickness.
