Scientific paper

ON the Wiltshire Downs, near Marlborough, at about 4 o'clock on February 10, I observed a white mist-bow, in position and shape resembling the rainbow, but pure white, and the arc was of considerable width throughout, estimated at 5°-10°, altitude of the sun 15°-20°, altitude of the summit of the bow 35°-45°. The wind was slight, and there was a frost at the time, and a thick deposit of rime on the trees, &c. Has this been observed elsewhere or explained? Is the phenomenon due to the superposition of coloured bows, or to the polarisation of the semi-crystallised vapour composing the fog?
