644 OBSERVATIONS ON THE ZODIACAL LIGHT, 



Xo. 322. 



APRIL 16th, 1855: 



Lat. at 3/ ( . 30m , 25 23' N. : Lou. 59 19' W. 



Sun rose at 5/i. 40?);. 

 Stronger Light at 3/i. 15m. and 4ft. 15m.: Diffuse at 3k. 15m. 



(15th was Sunday.) Was on deck soon after 3 o'clock, and found the eastern portion of the sky very favorable 

 for observations. The Zodiacal Light, however, was dim ; and its boundaries were difficult to be made out. Soon 

 after this, a strong light began to grow up towards the north, its strongest portion under p Pegasi. I concluded 

 to wait for further developments before forming any opinion of its nature ; but at 3" 50 clouds spread over the sky, 

 and put an end to observations for the morning.
