April 13, 1884. — At 4 h lunar corona observed, very misty look- 
ing, with red ring inside an outer green one. 
N.B . — Probably usual colours inside red, tbougb 
not noted in log. 
May 3, 1884. — At midnight brilliant lunar corona 
observed ; colours as in diagram. It disappeared sud- 
denly at 0 h 5 m before there was time to measure it. 
May 6, 1884.— -Badly defined corona seen at midnight. Radius 
of red ring 3° 15', and of blue 2°. 
May 11, 1884. — Solar halo observed at 10 h . Well defined. 
Eed inside. Radius, 22° 30'. 
May 23, 1884. — Solar halo at 13 h . Eadius about 20°. Colours 
very brilliant. Eed inside, blue outside. 
June 8, 1884. — At midnight lunar corona seen. 
Eed outside, with blue margin beyond. Eadius of 
red, 2° 30'. Very misty ; size apparently varying. 
June 9, 1884. — At l h double lunar corona observed; 
colours as in diagram. The inner one had all the 
gradations of spectroscopic colours, the outer only blue 
and faint red. Eadius of inner red, 2°; radius of outer 
At 2 h inner ring as before, but no outer colours. 
June 17, 1884. — At 19 h double and triple glories seen. Colours 
as noted in fig. 2. Ho. 1 was very indistinct — a mere blotch of 
colour. Ho. 2 was the brightest; Ho. 3 was not so bright as Ho. 2, 
and sometimes was not seen, but when visible was quite sharp 
and distinct : —

June 18, 1884. — At 8 h double fog bows seen, with faint glory 
round the shadow of observer. About J of the circles were visible 
(270°), the rest being cut off by the shadow of the hill. Colours as 
noted in fig. 3. The inner (fog) bow was narrower, and not so 
distinctly coloured as the outer. Both were too large to measure 
with stephanome. 
July 26, 1884. — At 10 h solar halo observed; colours quite dis- 
tinct, red inside.
