ABSTRACT _Symons's Monthly Meteorological Magazine_, May.—The worst gale of the nineteenth century in the English midlands. This storm occurred on March 24, 1895, and has not been fully
discussed, although some local scientific societies have published short papers upon it. The present number contains part of the list of damage done in various countries; in the next number
it is proposed to complete it, and to offer some general remarks upon the subject. Mr. Symons considers that the damage done is without parallel since “the great storm” of 1703. It is a
curious coincidence that it occurred on the same day of the year, and nearly at the same hour, as that of the _Eurydice_ squall in 1878, in which, it will be remembered, Her Majesty's
ship was lost. This latter storm was discussed by the late Mr. W. C. Ley.—Fog, mist, and haze, by “F. R. Met. Soc.” In the hope of initiating a discussion upon the existing absence of
unanimity as to the meaning attached to the different words in general use, the author has suggested certain definitions, which are briefly as follows:—Fog; an obscuration due to
condensation of aqueous vapour when the particles are too small to be seen with the naked eye. Mist; when the particles are large enough to be seen with the naked eye. Smoke-fog; obscuration
without water particles. Haze; an obscuration of distant objects, so slight that the cause is not visible to the observer. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview
