July 17th. — The very fiiint light in N.N.W. is probably the zodiacal light, seen laterally. 



July 30th.— About 9h 35m a single ill-defined streamer, 20= high at top, at N. 5° E. slowly 

 drifting to W., and in tive iniuutes had reached N. 5° W. and soon disappeared. Other slight 

 auroral indications afterward till moonrise. 



July 31st. — But at one time I suspected a faint illumination ; doubtful. Tornado passed 

 through N. part of the city at noon. 



Aug. 9th.— Watched tiir2h 10m (of 10th) for meteors, which were abundant. A faint light ia 

 N.N.W. and N. — perhaps auroral, more probably zodiacal. 



Aug. 10th. — A streamer about lUi, and zones ; arch and diffuse light afterwards. 



Aug. 11th. — At lOli nearly overcast. An auroral light suspected at various times, but uncer- 

 tain. ' I did not myself look for it during the clearest part of the evening. 



Aug. 14th.— It is probably auroral. Nothing previous. No streamers aud possibly zodiacal 

 light. 



Aug. 20th.— Mr. F. Bradley thinks there was an A.B. but no streamers.
