318 OBSERVATIONS ON T1IE ZODIACAL LK5HT. 



'No. 160. 



MAY 23d, 1854 I Monniffe. 



Lat. 41 47' N. : LOD. 140 43' E. 



Sun rose 4A. 37jm. 



Stronger and Diffuse Light at 2/. 40m 

 Zenith point at 2A. 40m. .< Lat. 64 25' N. s Lon. 293. 



1'he sky was hazy on the horizon ; but the haziness diminished as it ascended, and, at 25 of altitude, was scarcely 

 perceived. In the zenith, the sky was clear and bright. The Zodiacal Light was very evident, and its boundaries 

 pretty well defined, except the lower one of the Diffuse Light. I thought, yesterday morning, that the Stronger 

 Light rounded off in the neighborhood of Jupiter ; but this morning it appeared to extend nearly or quite to the 

 Milky Way, and I have left its end undefined, 



Dawn a few minutes after 3 o'clock.
