Bradley^ 8 Auroral Register. 



145 



1848. 



An arch of 70" amplitude, and 5° or 6"' high, from 1^ to 9^''. 

 Ov't to 9^'\ Some openings in the N. about 7'', but indicating 



nothing unusual. 

 Obs. impos. early. Clear, but moon at 10'' ; made no good obs. 

 Clear. Saw a tall bank of auroral light about 8^''. At 9*^ saw no 



traces of A. 15. 

 Ov't to "i^ and also at 8^''. The New Haven Journal and Courier 



of the 18th says there was an aurora. (484) 



Nearly clear. A fine aurora from early in the evening to 11^. 

 Clear, saw no A.B. : not a very good obs. 

 Ov't to 7^". Cleared off about 9". Saw no A.B. at 10^-" ; not a 



very good obs. 



Ov't to 9^^ and prob. later. Some clear streaks in the N. about 10^ 

 which showed I think without mistake an A.B. My obs. was 

 not very good on account of obstructions, but I had little doubt 

 of an aurora. (4^85) 



M'y ov't, yet a few open spaces in the N. at 8*^ which looked very 

 light. I judged thei-e was an A.B. : did not look after 8^*^. (486) 



Clear. Slightly suspected an A.B. but Avas quite uncertain. 



Ov't in N. at 7'\ At 8^^'' to 9'' some clear sky on northern hori- 

 zon. Appears quite suspicious, but think the light due to the 

 moon and to contrast. 



An arch at 7'' and again at 9"*; amplitude 100°, altitude 11°. 



Clear. Moon. I had hardly a doubt that there was an A.B. about 

 9''. Saw no streamers. (487) 



Nearly ov't up to 10''; stars dimly seen overhead; a few bright 

 openings in N. about 9f'', prob. due to contrast. 



Clear. No A.B. to 9'' from observatory. It appeared a little sus- 

 picious, but I saw no streamers, and concluded there was no A.B. 



Clear. Some long low clouds in N. Bright between them but 

 prob. due to contrast. 



Ov't at 7^*^ ; at lO*" nearly clear; hazy and some clouds in the N. 

 low down. No A.B. although it appeared light among the cl'ds. 



Considerable cl'r sky at times to 8^ or 9''. At 10'' n'y or quite ov^t. 



Partially cloudy. No A.B. at 10''" Moon. 



M'y clear. Long cloud in N. at 10'' and a little before : slight sus- 

 picion of an A.B. but probably due to twilight and contrast. 



Almost Avholly ov't; a narrow clear streak obs. at 10'' in the N. 

 quite bright : prob. due to contrast. 



Clear at Ridgefield, Conn. No. A.B. seen at 9'^. 



Clear at Ridgefield. No A.B. seen. Moon. 



Partially cl'r at Ridgefield : moon : no A.B. seen at 10" ; cl'ds interf. 



O'vt to 10". (Some cl'r sky ab't 3" or 4" a.m. of the 1 1th. [A. N. S.]) 



Partially clear at 9:^", but saAV no A.B. 



Clear. No A.B. at 9|" : at 9f" N. obstructed with broken clouds. 

 A very slight suspicion of an A.B. about 9^". 



Broken clouds fill the N. at 9^''. The spaces revealed considerable 

 brightness, but I considered it due to contrast. 



Mostly cl'r : at about ^i" low cl'd in the N. : clear above ; concluded 

 that there Avas no A.B. though I had a very slight suspicion. 



Mostly clear; strongly suspected some auroral light at 10". Saw 

 no streamers in a few minutes watching. Cl'ds interfered a little. 



Clear. Moon. No A.B. seen at 10^", yet very slightly suspected. 



Clear. No A.B. at 9^". A slight suspicion of one about 11".
