2*74 OBSERVATIONS ON THE ZODIACAL LIGHT, 



No. 1ST. 

 APRIL 1st, 1854: MORSINO. 



Lat. 35 26' N.: Lon. 139 43' E. 



Snu rose 5h. 51m. 



Stronger and Diffuse Light at 4A. and 4h. 30m. 

 Zenith poiut at 4/i. 3 im.: Lat. 58 3D' N. : Lon. 250 30'. 



Clouds since last. This, a fine clear morning, excellent for observations. Got boundaries at 4 h and 4 b 30 m : it is 

 difficult, however, at 4' 1 30 m , to ascertain the dividing line between the Stronger and the Diffuse Light on the left 

 hand ; the Diffuse Light itself being strong. Have given them as they appeared to tne to be. At 4 h 30 m , I thought 

 I saw an increase of light shoot suddenly along within the boundaries of the Stronger, and that this increased light 

 remained, but would not be certain of it. At 4" 41 m , decidedly dawn. Have drawn the boundary of the Diffuse 

 Light across the Milky Way, near the horizon; it being strong enough to make itself evident there.
