on the nights of the 9thf 10//?, and llth of August. 255 



The total number seen from 8^ to 16'' was upwards of 380. 

 The number actually observed = 373, of which 123 fell to my 

 list. My companions were M. Wartman and his two sons, 

 M. Miiller of the Observatory, and M. Borel, a friend of his. 

 At 8*" two banks of clouds converged to a point on the horizon 

 N. 40 E. This point moved subsequently about 5° more to 

 the E. ; and at 9'' 45" the clouds had become much darker, 

 and the angle of convergence had greatly increased. At lO'' 

 they had become white and thin, and nearly concealed the 

 north from the horizon to a Lyrae. About 14'' they had moved 

 northward, and the point of convergence was at N. 35 E. 

 Heavy dew, night perfectly calm. Three of the stars passed 

 apparently over clouds. I can now merely class my own ob- 

 servations as follows. I find I am too late for post today, so 

 will endeavour to class the total. Aug. Kith. I have found 

 that it requires a very long time, so I can only give you the 

 total numbers from and to each constellation. 1 shall place 

 the numbery^OOT before, and the number to after, the name of 

 the constellation. I have not time to check my work.
