described in the Annals for this time, particularly the brilliant 

 ones, were seen on the same evening in England and in the State 

 of New York. 



The particular days on which the aurora appeared in 

 England, are not mentioned in the Annals, except when 

 the aurora is considered on some accounts interesting. By- 

 comparing those which are thus noticed with the Regents' 

 Reports, the following results are obtained : 



The first aurora mentioned in the Annals for 1830, occur- 

 red on the 19th of April. A particular description is given 

 of its appearance in England, and also a notice of its being 

 seen in Scotland. In the State of New York, a brilliant au-

Under the report of the meteorology for the month of 

 October, in the Aimals, two auroras are described as appear-
