OPPOSITION OF MARS, 1849-50, 



Remarks. 



Light, hazy cirri over most of the northern and northeastern portion of the sky during nearly all the period of observation. The effect was to cut 

 off the flaring light so often mentioned in these measures, and to permit greater certainty in the contacts. 



a Blazing. 



b III defined and unsteady. 



c Unsteady.
