Abstract
LAST evening (February 8), about a quarter-past eight o'clock (75th meridian time), I saw around the moon a series of coloured rings lying close together. The inner one was two or three diameters of the moon from the moon and red, the next was violet, then red, and finally violet again, this last one being very faint. From their proximity to the moon these rings seem to constitute the coronal, but I am puzzled by the fact that the inner ring was red. Do halos ever occur so close to the moon and without an interval between the two pairs of red and violet rings?
