IN a general article on the ``Photographic Observation of Clouds,'' published in NATURE of February 4 (vol. lv. p. 332), you call attention to the wave-clouds, the origin of which was first explained by Helmholtz, and remark that the name of ``Wogen wolken'' has been suggested as their designation. May I call your attention to a paper I read before the Linnean Society of New South Wales on August 29, 1894, in which the name undulus is suggested for the ripple- or wave-clouds. The name has the advantage of falling easily into line with Howard's nomenclature. And some name is necessary, for out of combinations of the elementary forms stratus, cumulus, cirrus, and undulus can be derived most of the diversified and ever-changing cloud-groups, which never cease to delight and astonish the eye and mind of man.
