Nov. 23, 1884. — From 9 h onwards glories observed on fog to 
northward, apparently about 2 miles distant. The number of rings 
varied from 3 to 5 (see fig. 4). At 14 h measurements were taken — 
1st red, too small to measure (under 1° 40'); 2nd red, 2° 0' radius; 
3rd red, 6° 30' ; 4tli red, 9° 40' ; 5th red, too faint to measure. The 
1st ring was blurred and indistinct looking; the 5th was incom- 
plete and very faint ; in each ring red outside and blue inside. 
Nov. 29, 1884. — At 2 h small lunar corona seen- 
Yery yellow looking inside the red, and with blue 
margin outside. Radius of red, 1° 55'. At 22 h corona 
as in (lower) diagram. Colours inside the red not 
distinct. The outer blue not always seen. Radius of 
' red, 1° 55'. 
Dec. 1, 1884. — (At 1M) Corona with red outside but blue margin 
Blue formed on scud passing over the hill. Radius of red 
=4° O'. Space inside the red blue looking. When 
D the scud cleared off at any time the corona disappeared, 
but the moon was seen surrounded by a very much smaller one, 
very yellow-looking, inside the red. At 3 h , misty-looking corona 
formed on scud; red outside. Radius of red = 2° 52'. 
Dec. 4, 1884. — At l h , corona with same arrangement of colours 
as in diagram above (Dec. 1), but the blue margin only seen at 
times. Radius of red = 2° O'. 
Bed Dec. 25, 1884. — At 17 h lunar corona observed, very 
and green misty-looking. Radius of red, 2° to 2£°. Yery green 
D and yellow in appearance; no blue, and red faint. At 
20 h very faint blue corona round moon, no other colour visible ; 
Blue radius of this blue space about 2° 5'. At 22 h small 
Yellow corona. Red too small to measure (under 1° 40'). 
D Blue extending to about 3° 10' radius. At midnight 
corona similar to that at 22 h , but without the outer blue margin. 
Radius of red = 2° O'.
