Abstract

WITH reference to the particularly violent hailstorm which passed over S.E. London on Saturday afternoon, July 24, I observed at Woolwich that the hailstones, apart from being very large, had a common shape and structure which may perhaps be worth recording. All the stones examined were either oval or pear-shaped, but not of uniform size; the broad half consisted of clear ice, while the other half was uniformly opaque or closely stratified with alternate layers of clear and opaque ice.
