10 OBSERVATIONS ON THE ZODIACAL LIGHT, 



APRIL 7tli, 1853 : EVENING. 



Lat, 22 is' X. Lon. 1H 10' E. 



Sun si-'t (\li. lam. 

 Stronger and Diffuse Light at S o'clock. 



Last evening cloudy; so also this morning. This evening I was prevented from observing till 8 o'clock. At 

 that time, the Zodiacal Light was partly obscured by a cloud; but I was able to get its outline. I thought, at one 

 time, that the Diffuse Light crossed the Milky Way, and made itself perceptible above as high up as Castor and 

 Pollux; but on calling a quartermaster to look also, he could not make it out higher than the Jlilky Way; so I let 

 it pass.
