* A luminous arch, stretching across the heavens from East to West, was visible on 

 the evening of the 3rd. It was first observed at 8 p. m. ; its western extremity, which 

 appeared the most brilliant, was a little to the south of « Lyrae : it then passed through 

 the triangle formed by the three principal stars in the constellation Cygnus, and its eastern 

 limb was somewhat to the north of Jupiter and Aldebaran. About an hour afterwards the 

 arch was more faint, and had moved five or six degrees to the southward, its eastern 

 extremity being then nearer to « Aquilae than a Lyrse. At the time of its appearance, the 

 wind was light from the south, the temperature mild, and the sky generally overspread by 

 a very thin stratum of cloud, more dense in the north than elsewhere. Stars of the first 

 and second magnitude were very visible j the smaller ones mostly obscured. It will be 

 seen by the table above that the weather for the subsequent days was windy, with rain, 

 accompanied with a considerable fall in the barometer.
