(19th, clouds ; 20th, Sunday). Was up this morning at 1 o'clock, and found the Zodiacal Light qnite distinct, 

 but not giving very well marked boundaries. Some passing clouds interfered : I got boundaries at l h 15 nl , which I 

 believe may be relied on ; also at 2" 13"' and 3'' 15 m . At the last observation, the lower end of the Stronger Light, 

 as high as the zigzag, was brighter than the rest, to such a striking degree that I noted it on the chart. The 

 sky, this morning, was remarkably brilliant, and favorable for observations.
