Sun rose C/i. 2Hm. 



Stronger Light at 1A l.jm. and Ik. 

 Sun's longitude 253 J 19'. 



Cloudy from 22d ultimo to tins date. Rose at ten minutes before l h . At 1 o'clock tVre seemed to lie a liIusTi of 

 light in the sty, from Kegulus down. Should not have doubted it, if there had not been a similar kind of blush 

 along the horizon from this place to the Milky Way, on the right. At T 1 12'", took outlines, but do notl'eel perfectly 

 satisfied about the character of the Light. At l h 37"', it seemed to be pretty decided. At 2'', scarcely a doubt about 

 it. There would have been none, it' it had not been for this blush, still on the right; but this latter did not extend 

 upward, like the other. At 3'', the sky has all clouded over once more.
