Abstract
IN NATURE of April 2, Prof. Chapman has an interesting article on the iridescent (mother-of-pearl) clouds observed by Prof. Størmer of Oslo. These clouds, which are unmistakable in appearance, are reported to have been at the great height of 26 to 30 km. I once discussed these clouds with the late Prof. Mohn, but there was then no suggestion that they floated so high. Their appearance at the altitude now recorded opens up some interesting problems.
