Abstract
A CURIOUS rainbow was observed here on Friday evening last. Heavy rain falling in a dark southern sky formed the lower portion of one limb of a bow, extending about 10° directly towards the zenith. The red band alone was visible, and lasted after sunset (which occurred at 8.40 for our horizon, and some ten minutes earlier below the Howgill Fells), for a full quarter of an hour.
