Sun" rose at 7A. Jm 

 Stronger Light at 2A. and 4A. 30m. : Diffuse at 4A. 30m. 



Moon set a few minutes before 2 o'clock. At 2" went on deck, and found the Zodiacal Light distinctly marked in 

 the sky, though it was difficult to get its outlines. Blowing violently ; hut sky perfectly clear and brilliant. At 

 y 30 again on deck, but found the sky clouded over. At 4" 30 it had cleared off again, except towards the horizon, 

 and I was able to get reliable boundaries, except for the upper end of the Diffuse Light. The upper end of the 

 Stronger is also now badly defined.
