SOLAR Halos such as described by Dr. Frankland (NATURE, vol. xiii, p. 404), may be seen on about seventy-five or eighty days in the year, here, and are commonest in the spring, but it is extremely rare for them to be brightly coloured. I speak of the ordinary solar halo of about 22° radius, but the great halo of about 46° radius, is always distinctly coloured, though not a common phenomenon. It is not the `` murky atmosphere '' of London that hides the colours of the ordinary halo ; they usually do not exist, except dull red and orange, and perhaps a faint tinge of blue. This is owing to the great breadth of the halo, which causes the colours to overlap and mix together ; here it is very seldom that the halo is narrow and the colours consequently bright, as they seem to have been when seen by Dr. Schuster (p. 394). I doubt whether the name ``parhelia,'' which he gave them, is correct ; I understand that term to mean mock suns (or a bright small portion of a halo), a phenomenon visible here on thirteen days in a year on the average.
