Scientific paper

ABOUT sunset on the evening of Sunday, July 13, being at Ripon with my son, our attention was arrested by an unusual appearance, which I will briefly describe. Two large clouds, covering a considerable portion of the western sky, and separated by an interval leading generally towards the west, were each bordered along this interval by a bright and well-marked double spectrum. The two spectra forming this were together of the width of about one and a half times the diameter of the sun; they followed the foldings of the edge of the clouds, and, which suggests a partial explanation, were at right angles to a fringe of nebulous striæ, which bordered the clouds, so that, except that the spectral colours were parallel instead of consecutive, the phenomenon had in some degree the appearance of the reflection from a grating.
