 Auroral arch perhaps .5° high, and quite bright.

 above 40° ; seen by Mr. Joseph W. Bennett. 



Oct. 11th. — A very faint auroral light along N. horizon, brightest between 9h and lOh. Ob- 

 served to lOh. 



Oct. 15th. — The illumination very slight and low, but I think real. Looked also during the 

 night, probably about Ih a.m. ; appearance the same. 



Oct. 19th. — About 8h three concentric arches, nearly complete, the vertex of the highest 

 being about 25° ; amplitude 60° more or less ; very little streaming while observed. Consider- 

 able general light. 



Oct. 21st. — A slight A.B. seen between 9h and lOh; a luminous bank, about 30° amplitude, 

 reaching up 1° to 3°. I saw no streamers during about 1.5ni. Bank mostly W. of N. 



Oct. 22d. — At lOU a slight A.B. I saw no streamers. A mere faint illumination. 



Oct. 24th. — Between 9h and lOh three or four streamers of the A.B. appeared for three or five 

 minutes in N., reaching 5°, more or less,, high. Before this, and after to lOh, there was scarcely 

 ^ny general auroral light.
