Hale Carpenter in NATURE of September 23, p. 414, reference may be made to a note in Monthly Weather Review, 43, p. 550–551, 1915, where a funnel or pendant seen near Cape San Lucas, Lower California, is described and sketched; the sheath or sleeve seen by Dr. Hale Carpenter was very striking. The phenomenon was under observation a considerable time.
