No. 215. 



SEPTEMBER Ifnh, 1854 : EVESIHO. 



Lat at 7*. 30m., 27 31' N, : Lon. 124 23' E. 



Sun set at 6 o'clock. 

 Stronger and Diffuse Light at 7h. 20m, and 7A, 40m. 



Last evening cloudy. This evening, clouds interfered till 7 h 20 m , when I had a good observation. The Stronger 

 Light was brightest np as far as the zigzag ; above that, it was dim for it. About a. Libras the light was (7 h 25 m ) as 

 strong as in the Milky Way at 57 Scorpionis ; at the same time the strongest light in the adjunct portion below a a 

 was equal to that of the Milky Way between 36 and 26 Scorpiouis. At Y h 40 1 " the Stronger Light was quite dim at 

 its upper end, but bright at its lower. At 7 1 ' 45"', difficult to make out its boundaries. At 8 h 15 m the Zodiacal 

 Light was very decided within the Diffuse boundaries, as given on the chart ; but no Stronger Light could be made 

 out. At 9" 20 m the upper end of the Diffuse Light was still left apparently, but was not reliable.
