WITH reference to Mr. Norman Lockyer's and Prof. Brücke's observations on the appearance presented by the shadow of the earth at sunset or sunrise (NATURE, vol. xviii. p. 223), I beg to be allowed to confirm them by my experience in Switzerland. Early starts for expeditions give one, among other good things, opportunities for seeing sunrise from the very beginning, and I have repeatedly seen the shadow of the earth, as it were, gradually driven down by the illuminated portion of the sky, the boundary between them being very well marked and roughly circular like the horizon, but I think with a greater apparent curvature. At this distance of time (some years) I cannot remember anything of an effect of foreshortening such as Prof. Brücke notices.
