Abstract
DR. ROTCH (vol. lxviii. p. 623) may, from experience, know whether this phenomenon is more prominent in the United States than in Europe, and better than can be ascertained by simply collating reports of the sky appearances as seen by different observers in the two continents, but he is mistaken in supposing that the phenomena in question have not been mentioned in European journals, as he will find a full description of the “New Bishop's Ring” in your pages (the issue of December 25 last, p. 174), particularly as observed at Sunderland.
