Abstract
HERE at 700 feet above the sea the green flash at sunset may be seen whenever the horizon is clear of clouds. At times the air is so clear that the mountains of St. Vincent, 110 miles to the west, can be clearly seen at about the time of sunset. On such evenings Venus may be followed right down to the sea horizon when, as now, it is near its maximum brightness.
