 N.W. true. 



July 2. Ih. a.m. Four faint bands between N. 20 W. and N.N.E. (magnetic), altitudes 8, 10, 12, and 

 15. Bright confused patch S.W., altitude 12 to 20. 



2h. a.m. Faint auroral bands of light between S.W. by W. and N. 20 W. magnetic, and 

 faint streamers S.W. magnetic, 10 to 15 in altitude. 



6h. a.m. Bright patch between S.W. and N.N.E., altitude 10 to 20. 



The above auroras, July 1 and 2 (lOh. p.m. to 6h. a.m.), varied considerably in intensity and 

 form. The intensity never exceeded a star of the 2nd magnitude, but was generally much 

 fainter. 



8h. a.m. Bright auroral arcs and streamers S. to N.W. true, and two beams over White 

 Island (S. by E.) resembling clouds, the whole being very unsteady. Visible for 30 seconds 

 E. to N.W. arcs, altitudes 20 to 30, the brightest vertical ray reaching to about 40. 

 Weather bright. Wind E.S.E., 1-2. Temperature, - 18 F. 



July 3. 6h. a.m. Kapidly changing, but generally faint aurora, extending N.E. to S.S.E. Streamers 

 from N.E. to E.S.E., extending to an altitude of 20. An incomplete curtain E.S.E. to 

 S.S.E. between the altitudes of 7 and 18. Temperature, - 23 -5 F. Weather b. Wind E. by 

 N., 6-7. 



lOh. a.m. Faint arc from N.N.E to S.S.E., altitude 10. Streamer in N. 



4h. p.m. Bright arc from S. to N.E. by E. Part of arc, low down on horizon, seen from 

 Cape Armitage, altitude 5, E. to S.S.E.

July 4. 2h. a.m. Faint streamers in N., altitude 40, three in number and quite detached. 



4h. a.m. Very faint patch in N., altitude 20. Very faint band in E., altitude 10, 

 parallel to hills. Above this, at an altitude of 15, very faint streamers occasionally manifested 

 themselves. 



6h. a.m. Very faint streamers in S., altitude 10. 

 Midnight. Faint arc S.E. to E.
