Is there any connection between the sunset glows seen by Mr. S. E. Bishop in the Sandwich Islands (see p. 415) and the phenomena which have occurred lately in Western Europe? There has been for two months a feeble reappearance of a great corona round the sun. I do not know whether I can call it Bishop's ring, as it has generally been larger than that caused by the Krakatão dust, and also more dirty-looking in colour, and doubtless at a lower level. Bishop's ring itself had never altogether ceased to be visible about sunset and sunrise, but I had not certainly seen it at any time when the sun has had a considerable altitude for nearly two years, and then only in the clear Alpine air. On May 14 and August 26, 1888, there was indeed a great corona, but on the latter occasion the air was not very clear, so I concluded it probably had some other cause than volcanic dust; and there have been a few other occasions before that when I have had the same impression. On May 14, 1888, it is also questionable whether the circle was caused by volcanic dust.
