Nov. 25th. — Looking frequently from 6h to 9h, I saw no A.B. Within from 9h to lOh. At 

 lOh an evident A.B., a general light along N. horizon; about lOh 20m several streamers ap- 

 peared 6° or 8° high, and bright. 



Nov. 26th. — I could not discern any A.B. until after 8h, although I had some slight suspicions 

 of one. About 8h SOm a distinct A.B., general light ; but I saw iio streamers to 8h oOm. 



Nov. 27th. — Merely a general light ou N. horizon, of about 40° amplitude. I saw no stream- 

 ers to 9h 1.5m. 



Nov. 28th — Looking at various times to 9h, I saw no A.B. ; the N. was somewhat obstructed 

 by clouds. At 9li 30ni, on going out, I saw a small segment of an auroral arch in N.E. Watched 

 it till lOh 20m. No .other auroral indications. 



Nov. 29th. — A.B. suspected, but no certain traces, except a small, faint, transient auroral 

 patch at lOh. 



Nov. 30th. — At 5h 30m a.m. of Dec. 1st, saw a segment of an auroral arch in N.W. until day- 

 light interfered. 



Dec. 17th. — A fine display of streamers, red and white, about .5h 55m, through amplitude of 

 60° or 70°, to an .altitude of 50°. After 6h 15m, not much display lo 9h at least. 



Dec. 18th.— Within doors from 9h to lOh. At lOh found the A.B. visible, low in the N. mode- 

 rately bright, amplitude about 40°, altitude not more than 5°. I saw no streamers in twenty 

 minutes. 



Dec. 23d. — A.B. general light at 9h oOm, saw no streamers. [F. B.]
