This Paper was considered by the Section worthy of being 

 printed in the Memoirs, and will be read at an Ordinary 

 Meeting of the Society. 



In the course of a discussion which ensued on the red color 

 of the sky, often observed as an indication of approaching bad 

 weather, Mr. Binney mentioned that Mr. Dancer had shown 

 him an aurora borealis of a pale greenish white color, which, 

 when observed through glass upon which moisture had been 

 deposited, appeared red. 



Mr. Baxendell mentioned that several fogs, especially 

 those which had occurred in the early part of the present 

 winter, had been observed by him to be luminous, and that 

 Mr. Crosse, the electrician, had found many fogs to be highly 

 electrical.
