264 OBSERVATIONS ON THE ZODIACAL LIGHT. 



No. 132. 



MARCH 28th, 1854 : MORNING. 



Lat. 35 26' N. : Lnn. 130 42' E. 



Sun rose 54. 5^m. 



Stronger and Diffuse Li^ht at 4h. and 4/j. 3f)m. 

 Zeuith at 4/i. 311m., Lat. 57 N.: Lon. 245. 



Was on deck at 4 o'clock. Previous to that, the Milky Way is too near the horizon for any valuable observations. 

 At 4 h , could not get the lower or southern boundary of the Diffuse Light, on account of its propinquity to the horizon. 

 The morning was unusually clear-, but could see no Zodiacal Light above the Milky Way. The Diffuse Light, 

 especially on the left, or north, is now so strong that it is rather difficult to say where the boundary-line between it 

 and the Stronger is. Dawn about 4 h 43'.
