Abstract
SINGULARLY enough I can record the appearance of a rainbow after sunset similar to that described by Mr. S. A. Hill (NATURE, March 15, vol. xxxvii., p. 464). I was not aware there was anything unusual in it until I read Mr. Andrew's communication, or would have written to you about it. I do not remember on what day I saw the rainbow, but it was about the date of that observed by Mr. Andrew. I called my wife's attention to it, and attributed it to the brilliant glow of the sunset tints. It had a secondary bow, and Mont Kogie as a dark background.
