Abstract
A VERY fine display of luminous night-clouds was visible here during the night of the 4th inst., the luminosity extending to an altitude of 30° above the northern horizon, ending above in definite cirrous streamers, or cloud wisps. It will be seen by the Ben Nevis June Summary that these clouds were noted on the 29th ult. In NATURE of the 3rd inst. (p. 222), the writer's communication on this subject was misprinted Kensington instead of Kingstown (Co. Dublin). The present dates from Scotland.
