560 OBSERVATIONS ON THE ZODIACAL LIGHT. 



No. 280. 



JANUARY 15th, 1855: EVESINO. 



Lat. at 8h., 21' N. : Lon. 811 37' W. 



Sun set at 6/1. 9m. 

 Stronger Light at 7/i. 15;n. to t)A. : Diffuse at7A. 3ll). 



Clouds since the 12th. Sky this evening not in the best condition for observations ; somewhat hazy, and 

 troubled, also, by passing clouds. I did the best I could, and got boundaries, which are remarkable for their 

 great divergence from the ecliptic on the southern side. These boundaries were very carefully taken ; but I do 

 not consider them fully reliable : must wait to get others hereafter ; still, however, these outlines appeared to 

 be fairly marked in the sky. The effulgence within the zigzag was wonderfully great this evening ; the Diffuse 

 Light was not well defined. There were evidently pulsations, but the clouds prevented my making record of 

 them. The Light at 9 h was dim, and its boundaries were very badly marked.
