IN reply to Mr. Backhouse's question (p. 511) as to where the context of Mr. Neison's remarks can be seen, I can only say that I do not know. I came across the portion quoted relating to these phenomena at the end of the Astronomer-Royal's Report upon the Weather of 1883. Like Mr. Backhouse, I have been on the look-out for solar halos, or big rings round the sun as we call them, for the last thirty years, more with a view to be prepared for squalls, &c., when boating, than anything else. But for some years there has been so much haze about the sun, and the weather has so often cried ``Wolf,'' so to speak, with no responding gale or squall, that of late I have ceased to take much note of such warnings, I may here mention that the rosy corona, when visible, as it so often is now, can be well seen by looking towards the place of the sun, but standing in the shadow of some high building; or at times by totally eclipsing the sun with a hat held between him and the eye.
