Scientific paper

ON going out at 4.12 p.m. to-day, I saw several remarkable clouds in the west part of the sky, somewhat similar to those described by Prof. Piazzi Smyth and several other correspondents in NATURE, vol. xxxi. pp. 148, 192, 264, 315, 338, 360. These clouds were collected in three groups, about south-west, west, and north-west respectively. Some of them were streaked, and the streaks and longer axes of all the clouds were directed approximately towards the spot where the sun had recently set. At the time when I first saw them, only one of these clouds showed prismatic colours, but I am informed by a friend that a little earlier, about 4 p.m., this was the case with several. As the other two sets showed colours and changes exhibited later on by those in the south-west, I propose to describe the latter alone.
