August 19, 1887. — Glories seen about 9 h 40 m . Two rings distinct, 
and two others outside these indistinct. Red outside in all. The 
colour next the shadow was yellow; between its red (i.e., red 1 ) and red 2

A fog-bow was seen at 9 h 45 m , with glory inside it round shadow. 
At 10 h 22 m another glory seen at cliff ; red outside, radius = 2° 36'. 
The violet was a broad band reaching nearly, if not quite, to the

Two other measurements of different glories about the same time

August 21, 1887. — Triple glory seen at about 9 h 30 m ; colours as

In 2 there was no green, and in 3 no blue [or only faint traces in 
both cases].

barely visible.

the colours got blurred and indistinct. 
The following measurements were taken by Mr Herbertson : — 
Radius of yellow 2 (inside edge of colour), . 2° 36' and 2° 32'
