Abstract
MR. R. W. WOOD, who describes a mirage on city pavements, in NATURE of October 20 (p. 596), may like to refer to the second volume of NATURE (p. 337, August 25, 1870), where he will find an account of mirages seen by looking closely along a wall, which was exposed to a hot afternoon sun. The mirage must be very common, and needs only looking for. Mr. Wood's interesting letter may lead others to photograph this curious phenomenon in our own country. A wall will be easier to deal with than a pavement.
