Abstract
COMMUNICATIONS by Dr. Lockyer and by Mr. Buss have appeared in recent numbers of NATURE (April 2, June 18, and June 25) under the above heading. In the last-mentioned number Dr. Lockyer quotes a portion of a letter which I wrote to him following the publication of his original paper, showing the triple-arch prominence. I examined my plates under very unfavourable illumination, and wrote that no prominence of unusual form was discernible in the position which he gave. More careful examination shows a faint, detached, V-shaped cloud attaining an elevation of 67,000 miles, as probably the last remnant of the prominence, at considerable elevation. The accompanying figure will show this faint cloud at 146°.5.
