AT SANTIAGO DE CHILE. 



69 



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 tbe same time, was purely local. No sign of a cloud visible a few minutes after tmnset, but the star is so 

 excessively small that it does not bear an great illumination a> in necessary for satisfactory measures.
