M. W. DE FONVIELLE is, no doubt, right in attaching importance to the study of these phenomena of refraction, depending as they do, upon the polarisation of atmospheric vapour. Rightly interpreted, they afford one of the most certain indications of weather change, especially in regard to rain; but the popular notion of their being precursors of storms is certainly exaggerated. In reply to hee inquiry made by M. de Fonvielle, I may say that the distance between the observers of the singular forms of this phenomenon, and seen on January 4th (and of which a sketch, furnished by me, was inverted by the printer) was about two statute miles. I have ascertained that the two arcs in my own sketch corresponded with the largest and the smallest circles in the drawing of your other correspondent. I saw nothing of the intermediate intersecting arc, almost vertical* in his drawing.
