 Stronger and Diffuse Liyht at 7 o'clock. 



Moon in the morning : clouds uniformly in the evening since last date. This evening, had a clear atmosphere and 

 a very good time ior observation. The evening Zodiacal Light now, though not show}', is extremely interesting; as 

 it presents itself broadside to us, and offers a good opportunity of ascertaining its northern limits. These appear to 

 be about 45 from the ecliptic. The Stronger Light is not striking, owing to its proximity to the horizon.
