Abstract
NEW ZEALAND eruptions have not the projectile force to cause red sunsets. Singularly, the very same current of ideas expressed by Prof. Newcomb in NATURE, vol. xxxiv. p. 340, occurred to the writer, when in Australian waters the June previous, on the deck of the P. and O. steamer Ballaarat, off the Great Bight, on noticing a peculiarly red northerly sunset. The newspapers at King George's Sound were full of accounts of the magnitude of the eruption of Tarawera, and it must be the fine dust from New Zealand that has passed overhead.
