Abstract
THERE have lately been seen here some remarkable examples of rose-coloured streamers radiating from the sun at an interval of from 20 to 30 minutes after sunset, particularly on the 3rd, 5th, and 6th of this month. On the 3rd the appearance was especially striking, the contrast of colour between one very broad, vertical ray and the greenish-gray sky which separated it from its neighbours being most marked.
