OPTICAL phenomena of a peculiar nature appeared here on the 25th and 26th inst. On the 25th, shortly before sunset, the atmosphere, which was exceedingly clear except in the west, was suffused with a brilliant tint of lake. Over and to the left of the sun, which appeared to shine with a remarkably white light, there was a heavy cumulus, the edges of which were tinted with a strange, olive-green colour. After sunset the sky in the east became gradually of a more brilliant rose tint, which continued a long time after the sun's rays ceased to be reflected from a long, curled streak of cirro-filum, at an altitude of 2600 feet. The sky nearer the zenith at 5 p.m. appeared to be of a sea-green tint. A little later, the most brilliant rose-coloured glow covered the western and south-western sky, which continued up to about 5.45 p.m., and might easily have been mistaken for a red aurora.
