Oct, 13tli. — Strongly suspected some auroral light, but could not be certain. Watched at in- 

 tervals until 9Ji 30m. 



Oct. 19th.— At Peru, Clinton Co., N. T., Mr. Edward D. Selden saw an A.B., a fine display. 



Nov. 1st. — Being occupied, coiild not observe much until from about lOh to lOh 30in. Up to 

 lOh there was much general light, and not many streamers. From lOh to lOIi 30ra an ill-defined 

 arch, vertex 10° high, more of less, amplitude 70°, more or less, little streaming; much gene- 

 ral illumination. I hear that at 2h a. m. of 3d the light was very strong. [Red light seen by 

 F. B.] 



Nov. 10th. — A moderate display, but mostly concealed by clouds. A general light in N. all 

 the evening, reaching up 10° or 15°, but I saw no streamers. I am told that at 8h there was la 

 the W. a segment of a well-defined auroral bow, not reaching quite to zenith. Retired at lOh. 



Nov. 11th. — Embarrassed by clouds lying about the N. horizon. 



Nov. 13th.— A bow, probably auroral, from E. to W. (from 6h 40m to 7h IQm) moving upward 

 or S., the sky being thinly oyereast, so as tO conceal the stars. No A.B. seen in N. to IQh, but 

 too cloudy for observation.
