Feb. 7th. — About 6h SOm, besides a large general illumination In N., there was aluminous 

 spot about .5° high in E., and an irregular wide band of fluctuating vapory light from horizon 

 about N. 60"^ W. nearly to zenith; no regular belt was formed, and this part soon faded. The 

 A.B. continued in N. to lOh at least. I saw no streamers. Moon after 8h. 



Feb. 8th. — About 8h 5.5m, only a small segment of about 15° long of this arch was risible, ex- 

 tending from N. to N. 10° W., it was constant for a few minutes. I saw no streamers to lOili. 



Feb. 13th. — Occiii>ied within most of evening; but other observers reported that there was 

 no A.B. At lOh I was tolerably sure that there" was a faint illumination in N. horizon. 



Feb. 15th. — [A.B. seen at Worcester, Mass. — dth Eeport Lunatic Asi/lum.] 



Feb. 18th. — Mr. Wm. Stow, city watchman, informs me that there was, between 2h and 4t 

 A. M. of 18th, considerable auroral light in N. : he saw no streamers, 



Feb. 22d. — A considerable A.B. visible between 71i and 8h, but soon after overcast. Very lit- 

 tle streaming, but an irregular band of light .50° high in N. ; bright spots in W.N.W. and E. 



Feb. 23d. — Through Assures in the clouds tliere seemed some unusual light. I strongly sus- 



pect an A.B. [A.B. seen at Worcester, Mass.] 

 Feb. 24th.— A 



It 



t lOh there was a fnint auroral light in N. I saw none between 9h and lOh, 

 was faint, but, I think, certain. Mr. F. Bradley saw short streamers at llh. 



March 15th. — No A.B. seen, and none but a brilliant one could have been seen. [Mr. C. S, 

 Lyman suspected a faint auroral light. A.B. seen at Worcester, Mass., 14th and 15th lusts.]
