Scientific paper

ABOUT 2 p.m. to-day a remarkable halo was visible here. The sky was partially covered with light cirrus clouds, and some small fleecy drift was rapidly moving from the north-west at a low altitude. I saw a bright bow at about 45° from the sun nearly due north, extending over a clear portion of the sky; this gradually extended till it formed a circle with the sun in the most southern point of its circumference. The width of the bow was rather greater than the diameter of the sun, the whole circle being, as near as I could judge, 45° or 50° in diameter. It was brilliantly white, brighter than the white of any clouds in the neighbourhood; it lasted perhaps fifteen minutes, and gradually broke up and faded. I could see no other interesting halo nor any appearance of parhelia.
