Abstract
THE clouds seen by Prof. Stone, as described in NATURE, vol. xxxv. p. 581, may have been of the same character (though I cannot judge positively from the description) as those so extensively observed in the Decembers of 1884 and 1885; if so, it is the only account I have read of their being seen last winter. Those described by Mr. McConnel, writing from St. Moritz, Switzerland (p. 533), are evidently of a totally different character, and I suppose simply the ordinary iridescent clouds which are common everywhere.
