Stronger Light at 1h. 15m.: Diffuse 7/j. 15m. and 7A. 45m. 

 Zenith point at 7A. 15.: Lt. 49 10' N. : Lon. 327 30' : At 7A. 45m.: L.t463;/ N. : Lon. 336. 



Clouds last evening; also this evening until v h 15"', when I had an observation: sky good. There was a 

 brightness, of uncertain character, below the line b b. The line given as for Stronger Light, at 7 1 ' 15'", was 

 so imperfectly marked in the sky, that I hesitated about drawing it. There is evidently a streak of unusual 

 brightness between this line and Antares, stretching in the usual course of the Stronger Light, and crossing 

 the blank space in the Milky Way ; but its upper boundary is badly marked, and its lower one is now usually 

 hidden by clouds, or blotted out by haziness on the horizon.
