HO RECORD OF AURORAL PHENOMENA. 



Off Winter Island (Hudson's Bay).— Lat. 66° 11' 26" N. Long. 82° 53' 45" W. August 

 31, 1823. Lyon. 



" During the night, we saw the Aurora very bright over Winter Island. 

 It was remarkable that we should have seen it so seldom and faintly at Igloolik, and that now 



again we should, on returning to Winter Island, find it as brilliant as we had been accustomed 



to see it at the same place two years before. 

 The nights were now very cold, long, and dark, and the sea froze thickly when not agitated." — 



Lyon, pp. 455-56.
