THE article by J. A. Howard1, ``Increased Luminance in the Direction of Reflex Reflexion-a recently observed Natural Phenomenon'', is no doubt interesting. It may, however, be useful to point out that this ``recently observed phenomenon'' is identical with the heiligenschein, extensively discussed in the classical book of Pernter-Exner, Meteorologische Optik2, with several references to earlier reports. The first observation goes back to Winterfeld3 (1804), which can hardly be called ``recent''. A brief description is also found in my book4.
