THE clouds described by D. J. Rowan, on p. 192 in your issue of the 1st inst., seem to have been of the same kind as were described in several letters in NATURE last summer; they were seen by myself in Bavaria. I saw these extraordinary clouds again this year, on the 28th of May, at Freshwater Bay, Isle of Wight, and on the 23rd of June at Bideford. They were seen by A. C. Dixon at Sunderland on the 2nd, 3rd, 13th, 16th, 22nd, and 23rd of June, and on the latter date were very striking. A description of them on the same date, written by E. Greenhow, appeared in the Newcastle Chronicle, as seen near Earsdon in Northumberland, erroneously describing them as a kind of aurora. On that night the display at Bideford was comparatively slight: at 10.18 p.m. the upper limit of the clouds distinctly visible was five-eighths of the way from the horizon to γ Andromedæ, and I presume that that was the limit to which the sun was shining upon them; though with field-glasses I could see them very faintly rather higher up.
