Abstract

THERE was observed over the Medway estuary on August 18 (7.15 p.m., B.S.T.) an extremely brilliant rainbow. In addition to secondary bows concentric with the primary (all less than a semicircle), there was seen a bow of considerable brightness having an arc greater than a semicircle. This “anomalous bow” appeared to be of the same radius as the primary bow, had its colours in the same order (i.e. red outermost), and cut the horizon at the same point. It in fact, the remainder of the circle of which the primary arc formed a part.
