Abstract
I AM not sure of the date, but believe it was in June 1885 that I called attention in your journal to a strange effect of bright silvery lighted clouds, which remained visible in the north-west sky after sunset until nearly 11 p.m. Several times this summer I have noted repetitions of these same curiously lighted cloud-forms, but have never seen such a wonderful display of this “after-sheen” as that of this evening, July 12.
