Abstract
I MUCH regret that Prof. Smyth should have taken the word prognostic, applied to the rain-band as a depreciatory epithet, when it was only intended as a term of classification. In common parlance any particular “look” of the sky is called a proginostic, and it is a natural extension of the idea to call the “look” of the sky absorption a spectrum prognostic also.
