Abstract
THE study of the form and motion of the clouds has been a favourite subject with meteorologists and physicists from the earliest times. Among the first, works, since the invention of printing, may be mentioned one by J. Alkindus (Venice, 1507), dealing, with clouds in general, and one on the height of clouds, by J. Bernoulli, “Nova ratio metiendi altitudines nubium” (Lipsiae, 1688).
