Abstract

IN reference to Dr. Tyndall's letter in the Times of Thursday last upon the ullao as observed by him, I beg to call your attention to my paper read before the Stockport Society of Naturalists upon the same subject (see pp. 11 and 35). Not having seen the phenomenon described before, I ventured to call it the dew-bow.
