WHILE waiting at the telescope shortly before noon this date to note place of sun-spots at meridian passage, masses of cloud formed suddenly in a clear sky overhead, and drifting slowly due south, obscured a peculiarly brilliant sun. No sooner had direct light been intercepted than the upper air above cloud and sun's place appeared filled with the latterly common white glare (as of attenuated peat-smoke highly illuminated), which soon became suffused with the now familiar rose-tint, apparent also between the clouds and on south-south-west horizon, but not beneath the sun on meridian. The sun's apparent meridian altitude being 16°, the superior limit in altitude of rose-tint was 39° the colouring being monotone throughout, and not to be confounded with that of halos. Fearing ocular deception, as often happens from fatigue of eyesight, I asked an intelligent companion to verify observation, more especially as the diffused white glare at first slightly masked the tinting as compared with that of other ``glows.'' It seems, however, plain that the terms ``fore-glow'' and ``after-glow'' no more cover the entire field than the Krakatoan dust.
