Abstract
THESE clouds have reappeared. Last night was the first occasion I have noticed any very distinct display of them this year; but I first saw them on June 12, and again on the 14th; and I think I saw them on June 13 and 17, but was not sure. Previous to that, on May 15 and 16, the green sky, when the sun had set, was of unusual brightness, showing, as I thought, a tendency to the formation of these clouds. Each summer they appear to be growing fainter since they were first generally noticed in 1885.
