348 OBSERVATIONS ON THE ZODIACAL LIGHT. 



No. 1*74. 



JULY 4th, 1854: MORNINO. 



Lat. at 2A. 30m., 26 51' N.: Lon. 132 E. 



Sun rose 5A. 10m. 

 Stronger Light at 2/i. 30m. 



Clouds since last date. Rose at 2 h , but found the sky covered with flitting clouds. By watching, and catching 

 outlines in the intervals between the clouds, I was able, by 2" 2CP, to get the boundaries as in the chart. I think 

 they are reliable ; but the whole was so unsatisfactory that I made no further attempts. The Diffuse Light could 

 not be defined at all. The clouds, however, had one advantage, inasmuch as they, by contrast where the Zodiacal 

 Light could be seen, made it more striking, as they always do in such cases.
