Abstract
As seen from my house at St. Leonards, the sun sets at sea up to about this date, and behind the South Downs from now onwards. Only in the latter case have I been able occasionally to observe the greenishness of the last ray, and then indistinctly, owing no doubt to the habitual want of clearness of the atmosphere over the Downs at sunset. To-day the sun set behind the sloping face (as it appears from here) of Beachy Head. The ray was pure green.
