AT SANTIAGO DE CHILE.

Remarks. 



The night is extremely favorable for observations. A rather low temperature, and many cirri driving steadily from N.W. all day, evidencing that 

 the S.W. wind, which prevailed here at the same time, was purely local. No sign of a cloud visible a few minutes after sunset, but the star is so 

 excessively small that it does not bear as great illumination as is necessary for satisfactory measures.
