Atmospheric Refraction

Abstract

IF Mr. Wallace is still in search of facts on unusual atmospheric refraction, I would refer him in the first place to “Scoresby's Arctic Regions,” and Scoresby's “Greenland,” in both of which works very full and accurate information is given as to facts observed by the author; in the second place to the Phil. Trans. for 1798, 1799, and 1800, containing papers by Latham, Vince, and Wollaston; thirdly, to “Annales de Chimie,” first series, vols. 29 and 39; the former containing a paper by Monge at p. 207, and the latter a paper by Gorsse at p. 211.
