Abstract
IT is possible that some readers of NATURE can enlighten me on the cause and nature of what the Arabs call “The White Water.” This phenomenon was witnessed by me on two occasions at the entrance to the Persian Gulf in the vicinity of the Quoin. On both occasions the time was about 8 p.m. There was no moon on the first occasion, but a moon on the second.
