Determined again to watch the Zodiacal Light till its entire disappearance ; but, a little before ll h , the sky became 

 clouded in patches, which prevented my getting boundaries from that time on. The light, however, could be seen 

 between the clouds (made even more striking by them), until 11" 45 ra . The quartermaster on watch, in answer to a 

 question from me, said, at once, that the sky was brighter there (i. e. about /? Aquarii), than in the other parts of 

 the sky. 



The clouds lasted till dawn.
