636 OBSERVATIONS ON THE ZODIACAL LIGHT. 



No. 318. 



APRIL 13th, 1835: MORNING. 



Lat. at 3A. 30m., 18 5' N. i Lon. 51 25' W. 



Sun roee at 5/i, 48^m. 

 Stronger and Diffuse Light at 3h. 30m. 



CIouc'ls last evening. Moon for some time in the morning, until this a. m. Went on deck soon after 3 

 o'clock ; the Zodiacal Light, though quite distinct, too dim to give reliable outlines till 3 1 ' 30', At that hour, 

 though the Light was not strong, the boundaries were well marked, except that of the Diffuse on the right hand 

 (which I could not get at all); and those given in the chart may, I think, he fully relied on. The sky was extremely 

 favorable for observations. 



I still continue to notice, during the morning, the excess of meteors in the eastern sky over that of all other parts 

 of the heavens. The officer of the deck reported a remarkably large one on the morning of the llth, with a track 

 which was visible, he thought, for several minutes. 



Moon rose this a. m. at 3 b 4fi' n .
