Sept. 13. An Aurora continued through the night. Its 
horizontal extent, from weft-fouth-weft to north-eaft. Its 
complexion, white and vivid. Some ftriæ, though not nume- 
rous. In the weft, the dufky vapour, near the horizon; ap- 
peared in two fegments of a circle ; one extending fouthward, 
‘the other northward. 
14. An Aurora afforded a few ftris. | One ftrie, generated 
from the fouthern limit of the horizontal light, afcended almoft 
to the zenith. It diverged very much in its afcent. ^ ^ After 
“continuing at its greateft height fora minute or two, it fubfided 
to about 50° altitude. At 10* 30°, the lower part, at about 
15° altitude, became detached from the light below, °and in 
the form of a narrow glade, remained fufpended for feveral mi- 
nutes, and then vanifhed. 
22. At ten o'clock, a yellow ftria of Auroral light appeared: 
fingle in the weft-fouth-weft, without any dufky vapour be- 
neath it ; but rifing from about 20° above the horizon, out of 
E fmoky haze, and afcending to 55° altitude. It continued 
bright a few minutes, and then became faint. Three fmall 
ftrie, at a fmall diftance weft of the former. After a continu- 
ance of about a quarter of an hour, the whole difappeared.
