March 17th. — No A.B. certainly seen, but at intervals there seemed to be some illumination, 

 probably the contrast of sky and clouds. 



March 18th.— Behind the clouds there appeared to be some unusual light in N., but it may 

 have been due to thinness of clouds in tluit quarter. 



March 20th. — Mr. A. B. Haile thinks there was a faint auroral light about llh; this is rather 

 doubtful. 



March 31st. — About lOh 45m there was a foint auroi-al light in N. [Prof. E. A. Andrews in- 

 forms me that a traveller told him that during the night (coming from Worcester) he saw the 

 A.B. very splendid.] 



March 23d. — A bright auroral light round N. horizon about 3° high, with some streamers.
