THE communication from Mr. C. J. P. Cave1 prompts me to record a somewhat similar experience. At 7.30 p.m. G.M.T. on the evening of August 3, the sky was clear except for a patch of striated cirrus cloud high up in the sky in a north-westerly direction. There suddenly appeared a band of colours right across this patch as if it were a rainbow. As the sun sank towards the horizon the band of colour moved downwards across the cloud, with an increase in the intensity of the colours. At one time part of a `secondary' band of colour was visible, but this quickly faded as the band approached the lower edge of the cloud patch. The whole phenomenon lasted approximately fifteen minutes or so.
