The appearance of the cumulo-stratus, among ranges of hills, presents some interesting phenomena.

The cumulo-stratus, when well formed and seen singly, and in profile, is quite as beautiful an object as the cumulus.

The cumulo-stratus is more dense and continuous in its structure; thick in the middle, and thinned off towards the edges.

The third is the Cumulo-Stratus, which is made up of the cirro-stratus blended with the cumulus.

Cumulo-stratus clouds usually foretell a change of weather—from rain to fine, or from fine to rain.
