Abstract
THIS little book contains a series of forty-two pictures of clouds, all beautiful examples of the photographer's art, and excellently reproduced, covering the common types of cloud. The letterpress of twenty-two pages begins with an account of the classification of clouds, including a brief but clear description of each type of cloud. There follows a discussion of the colour of the sky, sunset rays, the green ray, rainbows, haloes, coronæ, iridescent clouds, brocken spectres and mirages. The book contains a considerable amount of information of a character which is seldom to be found in books which aim at popularizing the study of meteorology, or even in more pretentious books.
