Had good observations this evening, the sky being very clear; and, as they are important at the present time, as 

 showing the northern limits of the Zodiacal Light, I observed with particular care. The Light is not strong, and the 

 outlines are not very decided; but I believe I have, in consequence of great care, been able to get them correctly. At 

 8", the full boundaries of the Diffuse Light could not be had reliably. The Stronger Light, at 7", was not very de- 

 cided; and this Light, in consequence of its proximity to the horizon, or from some other cause, is not as strong as 

 formerly.
