A clear, brilliant night. Had an observation at midnight, and gave particular attention to it with reference to 

 the change in the direction of boundaries between 11 and 12 and at 4 o'clock. The result is in the chart. The Lisrht, 

 at midnight, was dim, but very distinct. Observed also particularly with regard to the upper end of both Diifuse 

 and Stronger Lights at the different hours. At 2", could make out the termination of the Stronger Light ; the 

 Stronger Light at 4' was far brightest below the zigzag.* The sky was remarkably brilliant. 



At 4 h the fowls on board began to crow, deceived, probably, by the brilliancy of the Zodiacal Light, though it 

 was yet three-quarters of an hour short of dawn. 



* By inadvertence, this was neglected in this engraved chart. The upper end of the zigzag was at Ion. 110.
