Abstract
THREE years ago, Prof. C. Størmer, of Oslo, made a preliminary announcement in NATURE of photographic observations by himself and his assistants upon the height and colour-distribution of some clouds at a remarkably great height in the atmosphere nearly over Oslo.1 He has now issued a detailed account of this work,2 and also of some hitherto unpublished visual observations on similar clouds, made by him on Jan. 1 and Jan. 15, 1890. The memoir is very fully illustrated by 140 diagrams and eleven beautiful photographs, three of which are reproduced herewith.
