from the surface of smooth water,
because then the origin of the rays
may be taken as the point of reflec-
ton. which would be below the hor-
lion. the bows being produced cor
respondingly high in the air. This
condition frequently occurs over
the basin of waterfalls and often
only the under half of the circle is

of a rainbow upside down, noticed

There are few more exquisite spec
