I CAN confirm Mr. Backhouse's and Mr. E. D. Archibald's impression about the colour now and for some time past seen round the sun; that it first appeared about November last and has been more or less visible ever since. The colour was then, and still is, sometimes rose, sometimes amber or buff. It is best observed, when the sun on bright days is behind a cloud, round that cloud, in the place where, at other times, broken beams of shadow, thrown out from the cloud like a row of irregular palings and deepening the blue of the sky, are to be seen. Towards sunset it becomes glaring, and white and sallow in hue. Something of a circular shape may then perhaps be made out in it, but it does not seem to me that it ought to be called a halo. A halo, as I understand, is a ring, or at least a round space inclosed by a ring. This appearance has no ring round it. Also in a halo (I have seen numbers) it is the ring that is coloured-either throughout, or at four places where the ends of the four arms of a cross would rest upon it; and the inclosed field is uncoloured or coloured like the rest of the sky: here there is an uninclosed but singularly-coloured field.
