The engraving on the preceding page, shows a phase of these fair-weather summer cumuli. |
I have watched the cumuli at such periods when they filled the air, and can assert that they never rise. |
The moon emerged from behind a cloud, touching with a delicate sepia some fleecy edge of cumuli. |
The cumuli resembled mountains in shape, and their peaked summits shone as white as Alpine snows. |
White clouds rising in the east gather into cumuli, with an increasing blackness along their lower portions. |
There must be text-books on how to tell the cumuli from the cirrus. |
