Abstract
WILL you permit me to quarrel with your correspondent for the heading “A Zenith Rainbow,” attached to his letter from Bruges, published in NATURE of May 11, p. 349? The phenomenon described was not a rainbow, as Mr. Gold has taken pains to point out. The heading is unfortunate, for two reasons: first, because it tends to confirm the prevalent misuse of the word “rainbow,” and, secondly, because it will probably lead to the improper classification of Mr. Kreyer's letter in bibliographies.
