478 OBSERVATIONS ON THE ZODIACAL LIGHT. 



No. 230. 



NOVEMBER llth, ]i-l: EVENING. 



Lat. at 7/i. 20m., 23 52' N. : Lon. 152 34' W. 



Sun set at 5A. 12m. 

 Stronger Light at 7/i. 15m. and lit. 35i. : Diffuse at 7 o'clock. 



Clouds or the moon since my last entry (November 1st). Had an observation this evening at 7" 15 ra , but it was 

 unsatisfactory ; rendered so by flying clouds, and by the presence of Jupiter at the upper end of the Zodiacal Light. 

 This Light, however, was strong enough, at its lower end, to be distinctly seen crossing the Milky Way. At 7 h 35 

 the observation was more satisfactory, the clouds having disappeared, and the sky being very clear and bright. I 

 ihink the outlines of the Stronger Light, at this hour, may be considered reliable ; but I cannot speak positively 

 about those for the Diffuse Light ; this latter being imperfectly marked in the sky.
