Abstract
I GATHER from Mr. Lee's account that he only witnessed one kind of lightning, whereas my son's letter describes two kinds altogether different in appearance. The inference would seem to be that the less brilliant and more unusual kind was not visible in the centre of Calcutta, though visible at Sibpur, probably owing to better atmospheric conditions.
