Abstract
THERE has been for three weeks past a very remarkable renewal of the afterglow. There is a quite deep secondary red glow after the stars are fully out. I should say that no such afterglow has been seen since 1886, or three years after the Krakatsão eruption. There is also a great extension of the white hazy atmospheric corona around the sun, very marked also around the moon. I am unable, however, to make out any of the pink colour on the outer edge of the haze, which was so charcteristic of “Bishop's Ring,” and distinguishable at Honolulu for two years. Apparently there has recently been a great reinforcement added to the material in the upper atmosphere, which produces the afterglows.
