Clouds last evening. The sky this evening very favorable for observations, and I had one at 6" 50 m . Thought 

 I could still see the upper boundary of the Stronger Light, and that I could discern the lower edge of the 

 same at Antares ; but for the latter there was not sufficient space between the Milky Way and the horizon to 

 give me the direction. The whitish light along the horizon still continues ; and I have given, its boundaries 

 b b up to 7" 40 1 ", at which time it was merging itself into the Diffuse Light, and its limits were becoming 

 badly defined. Soon after, the whole Zodiacal Light was so dimly marked that I ceased to make observations.
