Lat. at 8A., Z 54' S : Lon. 81 5:r \V. 



Sun set at 6A. 14m. 

 Stronger Light at Ik. 3!lm. and 8A. 10m. : Diffuse at 7k. 30;. 



Clouds all last night ; also this evening, till half-past 7, when I was able to get an observation. It was 

 ont a very satisfactory one, however, as there still were clouds along the horizon ; and I could get boundaries 

 only towards the upper part of the Zodiacal Light ; and, even there, the sky was not favorable, on account of 

 a general dimness or slight haziness. There seemed to be pulsations, but the region of them was troubled by 

 the clouds, and I did not attempt to record them. At 8' 1 10 m , sky still the same. Soon afterwards it was quite 

 clouded over.
