Note :
A classification of clouds according to their chief forms was first proposed by the meteorologist Howard ,

long -

and presenting the appearance of gigantic mountains crowned with snow .
It often affords rain and thunder gusts .
(
c ) {

This form appears in layers or bands extending horizontally .
(
d ) {

The name is sometimes used to denote a raining cumulus ,
or cumulostratus .

like the cirrus ,
of thin ,
broken ,
fleecelice clouds ,
but the parts are more or less rounded and regulary grouped .

stratus }.
In this form the patches of cirrus coalesce in long strata ,
between cirrus and stratus .

g ) {

stratus }.
A form between cumulus and stratus ,
often assuming at the horizon a black or bluish tint .
