a Visit to Glenure. 



241 



of a brilliant triple circular rainbow, a small segment of 

 which was cut off by the edge of the precipice where we 

 were sitting. This phenomenon, which was new to all of 

 us, appeared and disappeared at short intervals several times, 

 after which the sun's light came out stronger than before, 

 and it disappeared altogether. 



The movements made by the party were of course repro- 

 duced within this brilliant band of colour, the centre of 

 which appeared to be from 40 to 50 feet in diameter. 



There was little wind at the time, but what there was 

 was blowing in a circular direction, carrying the mist over 

 the summit in one direction, and up the valley leading to 

 this corrie, and over an adjoining neck, in exactly the oppo- 

 site way. We were, of course, considerably impressed with 

 the spectacle, and noted all the points as carefully as we 

 could. 



This phenomenon is almost precisely similar to that known 

 as the Ulloa circle, first described by the Spanish traveller 

 Francisco Ulloa. 



This very pleasant holiday came to an end on the Oih 

 August, when the second detachment returned home.
