46 OBSERVATIONS ON THE ZODIACAL LIGHT. 



No. 23. 



JULY 5th, 1853 : Monuixo. 



Lat, at 2/i. 30m., 29^ 3G' N. : Lon. 132' 5' E. 



Sun rose 5/i. 9m. 

 Diffuse Light at 2/i. 30m. and 3A. 



Had a fine observation this morning the sky clear, and the Zodiacal Light very decided. There was no decided 

 "Stronger Light," though, toward the Pleiades, the Light gradually changed into a whiter appearance, of 

 which they were the centre. Probably the Milky Way prevented anything decided in this respect. I looked care- 

 fully for "a dimmer sky" and "dimmer stars" beyond these lines such as we have in the evening; but could not 

 discern any.
