fome 'Rays refembling a Glory to point upwards from 
the Sun, I faw in thole Rays at the fame Diftance (be- 
ing, as near as I could guels, about 30 D. perpendicu- 
larly above the Sun) the Colours of the Halo appear- 
ing as in the luminous Spot ; but inftead of finding it, 
as I expeded, in a Circle fiirrounding the fun, it was 
inverted, yet not circular, but making an obtule An- 
gle, the point towards the Sun. I then looked to 
the Northward of the Sun, and as the Cloud, which 
was thicker on that fide, moved Southwardly, a lumi- 
nous Spot began to appear at the fame Diftance from 
the Sun as the. other, and in the fame Parallel of Alti- 
tude, which had the fame Colours towards the Sun, 
and increaled in Brightnels, but did not come up to the 
Brightnefs of the other Spot, yet was as luminous as 
the Sun then appear’d : this Spot was very little big- 
ger than the Sun’s Disk. As the Cloud mov’d on, till 
It came to about 60 D. to the Southward of the Sun, 
and 30 D. from the Spot, at an equal Height there ap- 
peared another Spot tinged with the Colours of the 
Rainbow. The whole Appearance lafted a Quarter 
of an Hour. The Reafon of my not feeing the Haloes, 
which generally appear with them, was, that there 
was a good deal of clear Sky above the Sun, and the 
.Cloud was too thick below it.
