Abstract
FROM observations made on three different occasions during past few summers, I can corroborate in every detail 'convergent' sunbeams reported by J. J. Hopfield1. Always in the late afternoon, the sun just having set behind the Jura and sending out fan-like beams of alternating light and shade, there seemed to be issuing from the opposite horizon behind the Savoyard Mountains (Mont Blanc) similarly radiating beams. Though somewhat faint overhead, the continuous course of these bundles could be clearly traced between the eastern and western horizon.
