No. 241. 



NOVEMBER 20th, 1854 : MORNING 



Lat. at 5A , 36 1?' N. : Lou. l'2ii j 51' W. 



Sun rose at GA. 4(im. 

 Stronger Light at 4 ami 5 o'clock: Diffuse at 5 o'clock. 



Clouds since last observation (13th) till yesterday, which was Sunday. Was on deck this a. m. at 4 o'clock, but 

 found the sky not very favorable ; some clouds in the east, and a slight haziness. The Zodiacal Light was dim, but 

 I was able, still, to have a pretty reliable observation. At 5" the sky was very bright and clear, and the Light very 

 brilliant, especially up as high as the zigzag line x. The Diffuse Light was so badly defined at its upper end, that 

 I was not able to carry its boundaries higher than as in the chart.
