Abstract
WHILE a patient at the Red Cross Hospital for Officers, Brighton, the phenomenon described by various correspondents was observed by me on numerous occasions last autumn. It was particularly noticeable on hot, sunny days along the Marine Parade, Kemptown. From a point opposite the Hotel Bristol, the road a quarter of a mile distant, in either direction, appeared as if flooded by a water-cart. Indeed, the illusion was so complete that the first time I witnessed it, being confined to a spinal chair, I instructed my attendant to make a detour.
