Parhelion was once fo bright, that, taking the Ad- 
vantage of a Place where a Chimney fhaded the true 
Sun, it call a very vifible Shadow : The white and 
luminous horizontal Tail alfo, that went from this 
Parhelion , was much longer than that of the other, 
reaching at one Time beyond the outer of the two 
concentric Circles. The Parhelia themfelves, tho J 
very luminous, were, however, never defin'd with 
any Exadnefs as to their Difcs, but look'd as we feme- 
times fee the Sun through a thin whitifh Cloud, and 
they were themfelves of a reddifh Colour on that Side 
next the true Sun. About Eight the Phenomenon 
was fenfibly decreas'd, and had entirely difappear'd by 
20 Minutes after.
