May 2d. — Amplitude 100° to 120°, arch in N. 25° to 30° high at vertex, many streamers, not 

 very brij^ht, some reaching up to 75° or 80° altitude. Observed from 8h 45m to 9h ; did not 

 look after this. 



May 13th. — Not very conspicuous, but certain. [Fide Mr. Lyman Baird.] 



May 31st. — At about lib, I was quite sure that there was an auroral light in the N. 



June 1st. — A low light 70° to 'J0° amplitude, and 5°, more or less, elevation. I saw no 

 streamers.
