Abstract
I HAVE received a letter, dated December 5, from Mr. Joseph Moore, of New Garden, North Carolina, U.S.A., in which he informs me that “the phenomena at both sunset and sunrise have been unusual in more than a dozen instances here during the autumn. Only the night before last we had an extraordinary sunset. The sky bore all the tints of which you speak, but I do not remember to have noticed the cirrus cloud in more than one instance. The sunsets have been subject for remark in quite a number of the papers.” I inclose also a newspaper, the Olive Branch, of Hancock, Minnesota, U.S.A., which has been forwarded to me by another correspondent, containing a notice of the sunset of November 10.
