THE phenomena connected with the volcanic dust are undergoing distinct changes. In common with observers in the south of England, I noted the fresh appearance of the dust phenomena in the end of June, especially on June 26, but they were not very striking until August 1. At first the most decidedly volcanic feature was the great corona round the sun, known in the case of the Krakatoa effects as ``Bishop's Ring.'' Whether this name should be applied to the corona this year is doubtful, as its radius has been fully double that of the Krakatoa corona, having until recently averaged about 70°, measured from the sun to the middle of the reddest part. Yesterday and this morning, however, it averaged only about 40°, and its reddest part was a yellowish-brown rather than a red. The colour of the corona this year has always been much less decidedly pink than was the case with Bishop's ring; indeed, it has sometimes been an absence of blueness in that part of the sky rather than any positive redness.
