Abstract
THE circular rainbow mentioned by Mr. Marshall seems to be similar to what may be seen at the Niagara American Falls by persons who are fortunate enough to have taken the trip under a portion of that Fall at the right time. When coming out into the front of the Fall, if the sun be shining and in a favourable position, each observer is surrounded by a rainbow of which his eye is the centre, and which accompanies him while in front of the Fall like the halo of a saint of old, but larger.
