Two instances of the occurrence of the rare phenomenon referred to in your issue of September 24 (vol. xliv. p. 494), by Prof. R. Copeland and Mr. W. E. Wilson, will be found recorded in the Transactions of the Nova Scotian Institute of Natural Science, vol. vi. p. 100. The dates of these occurrences were July 31 and September 5, 1883. The general appearance and position of the luminous arch were the same in both cases as in those described by Prof. Copeland and Mr. Wilson. Two additional points were noted, however, which are worthy of mention, viz. (1) that the arch of September 5 had a slightly marked rayed structure, which, when first observed, was in the direction of its length, but which gradually changed to a direction inclined about 45° to the longitudinal, and (2) that the spectrum of this arch, as determined by one of Hilger's pocket spectroscopes, consisted of two lines in the green, one quite bright and the other faint.
