Surely the figures for violet are strongly flattered (21 observations 

 of violet among which 12 of VIII). Without the records of VIII 

 the percentages for violet are respectivelj^ about 0.3 and 3.8. 



Evident is (hegreat variety of colour of parhelion and tangential arc '}. 



By adding red and orange, green, blue, and violet the personal

Against a decrease of white and red we see an increase of the 

 other colours. In more than 74 of ^1' cases colours are recorded 

 approaching green and bine for the parhelion and the tangential arcs.
