Abstract
I TAKE the liberty of communicating an observation made on Saturday evening last between 8 o'clock p.m. and 8.15 p.m. of a sort of halo which appeared in the east-south-east, just over Killiney Hill. Near the horizon was a bank of heavy, slategray clouds coming up from the south, and from behind rose up a principal beam from the Telegraph Hill, Killiney, with two side beams of lesser intensity on the sides, at angles of about 28°–30° were lesser beams diverging from the common centre.
