THE appearance described below was visible in Penrith and the surrounding district on Thursday, the 2nd inst., from 5 p.m. nearly till sunset. Round the sun as centre, at a distance of about 28°, about three-quarters of a circle of light were visible, the lowest quarter being absent. About a quarter of a circle of equal size touched this circle at its highest point. In the region of contact of the circles a space about 4° long and ½° broad seemed common to the two circles, as if they there overlapped, and this part was very bright, and bordered with red on the side towards the sun. The remaining parts of the circles were faint, and only to be seen when the disk of the sun was hidden by some obstacle; they were about ½° wide.
