Abstract
IT may be of interest to your readers to know that “rare phenomenon” mentioned (p. 494) was seen by me from Ryde, I. W., on Friday, the 11th. A streak of light (at first thought to be a ray proceeding from a search-light), was visible near the Pleiades, at about 9.30, extending over an are of about 45°, the width being probably about 1°. It gradually faded away, and at 10 no trace of it was left.
