Abstract
ON observing the lightning on Friday evening I noticed that several of the brighter flashes were preceded by one, or sometimes two smaller flashes, the large flash following immediately after and taking the same course as the smaller ones. I should be glad to know if any of your readers observed this, and also how it is accounted for.
