Oct. 20th.— A.B. suspected about 8h .50m. [F. B.] Slij^ht A.B. iu England; described by 

 Weld, Phil. Mag., Nov. 1848. 



Oct. 23d. — A faint but distinct illumination along N. horizon. I saw no streamer,*, but did 

 not watch long. [Between lOh and llh, Mr. M. C. Weld saw a few low streamers.] 



Oct. 23d. — Between 61i and Th a fine display of streamers, with much red light, some 40° to 

 50° high, through amplitude of 60° more or less. After 7h and to 9h, not much display, a gen- 

 eral light only. 



Oct. 2.5th. — Not very conspicuous ; princii)ally after 9h ; a light low in N., occasionally a few 

 streamers. [A red light in N. before dawn of 2.5th, seen by Air. M. C. Weld.] 



Oct. 26th. — A.B., slight ; light low along N. horizon. 1 saw no streamers to 91i. 



Nov. loth. — About yi< a very slight A.B., a little W. of N. Most of the evening I could not 

 see an}' traces of it. 



Nov. 17th. — Remarkably light, now .and then a red hue in the clouds, and reflected on the 

 snow. Probably a great aunira behind. [Unwell and did not observe.] A magnificent crim- 

 son coronal A.B. seen in Maine, Western New York, &c. 



Nov. 19th. — Only a small partial opening in N. Here at 91i and after, was a light so strong 

 that I have no doubt there was an A.B. behind. I hear that between 81i and 91i the light in the 

 N. was stronger and of a red hue ; sky overcast thinly. 



Nov. 21st. — At times nearly clear, except in N. A pretty bright A.B. much obscured by 

 clouds. Amplitude 7.5°, more or less, and height S'' to 7°, as far as could be determined. Seen 

 from fih to 9h, .and no further observation. 



Nov. 22d. — A slight A.B., brightest before 71>, and gradually disappearing about 8h. At 9h, 

 overcast. I saw no streamers, but only a very faint, iil-dclined light, like a reflection of an A.B. 

 below horizon. 



Nov. 2:^d. — Several streamers, some 30° high. After 7'>, and up to 91", I could not be sure of 

 the least auroral traces.
