Sun's Lon. 178 9'. 



Looked out eastward at half-past 10 last evening, but could see no Zodiacal Light ; was on deck again at 11" 30"% 

 and then found it quite distinct, its boundaries as in the chart ; it was dim, but still very decided. Had another 

 observation at 2 o'clock. Sky very bright and favorable. The Stronger Light was stronger from the horizon up to 

 the Milky Way ; but above that, also, it could easily be made out. I intended to have another observation at 4", but 

 clouds prevented. 



The morning Zodiacal Light is now very bright and striking.
