PROF. PORTER'S explanation of the green flash (NATURE, February 18) is unable to account for its appearance at sunrise, when it can be observed with great brilliance. When I was passing through the Indian Ocean on my way to observe the total eclipse of 1875 I happened to be on deck before sunrise one morning, and, watching for the first ray of the sun, was surprised to see the first flash of light appear as a vivid green. I had never heard of the phenomenon before, but atmospheric dispersion seemed to me sufficient to account for it, and I took it for granted that it was a well-known occurrence. I continued to observe the same effect several mornings in succession.
