Abstract

WOULD you kindly allow me the space in the columns of your valuable journal to make a few remarks on this subject? Before proceeding, I would like to mention three results of observations on hailstorms in general. It has been observed (1) that they move over the country in sharply-defined bands; (2) that these long bands have their origin or source in mountainous regions; and (3) that the air, previous to the occurrence of the storm is frequently hot and sultry, and that when it has passed, the wind feels sharp and cold.
