Abstract
IN your review of the Report of the Krakatão Committee of the Royal Society, it is stated that “Bishop's ring” has quite disappeared. Now this is hardly correct, for although I have not heard of anyone perceiving it in the middle of the day for a long time past, it is still visible about sunrise and sunset, though becoming on the whole gradually fainter. I presume that it is really the same phenomenon. At the time when “Bishop's ring” was most conspicuous in the full day-time, it was always far more so when the sun was rising and setting.
