Abstract
I HAVE read Prof. Worley's letter with interest, and can agree with him that the green flash is by no means a rare phenomenon. On a recent trip to the West Indies, I saw it three times out of a total of five sunsets observed, using a field glass × 7. It was just about as conspicuous as the experimental work would lead one to anticipate. Circumstances unfortunately prevented my observing further sunsets, as had been hoped.
