The moon did not set till about 8 11 SO 1 ", at which hour I was able to get an observation. The Zodiacal Light was 

 still distinct, though dim, and gave boundaries which I think may be considered reliable. I was on deck again 

 at midnight, in order to get east and west simultaneous observations ; but there was such a haziness over the 

 horizon as to defeat all such efforts.
