Oct. 20th. — Observation nearly or quite impossible up to lOh. Mr. Jobamah Gunn, of the 

 city watch, informs me that about Hi A. M. (3ist) there was a brilliant auroral display, not ex- 

 tendina; hij^her than 40° ; streamers, rapidly shiftinjj, &c. 



Oct. 25th. — Mr, _Azariah Smith informs me that at 5 a. m. this morning there was some auro- 

 ral light in N. He saw no streamers. 



Nov, .5th. — There seemed then to be considerable i;nusual light in N., but the rising of the 

 moon and the position of the clouds made it uncertain. Probably an A.B. Searched for the 

 zodiacal light in S.W. ; doubtful whether any trace of it can now be detected. 



Nov. 15th. — A slight A.B. about lOh ; a single definite streamer seen by Mr. F. Bradle.y. 



Nov. 18th. — A beautiful display of the Aurora Borealis, beginning as early as oh 4.5m, and 

 continuing probably all night. Before 6h the display consisted chiefly of auroral banks and 

 wisps, quite irregular; but after, and especiallj' between 101" and llh, there was a grand and 

 most animated display of merry dancers, passing and repassing, vanishing and flashing up, in 

 a remarkable manner. Streamers occasionally reached the zenith ; and about llh an indistinct 

 corona was formed for a few minutes. (See Prof. Olmsted's account in N. H. Daily Herald of 

 19th November, also Dr. J. G. Percival's.)
