hours of Nine or Ten ; at which time, in the former Night, 
it was near as Light as in a Moori-light Night. And from 
France we have an Account, thSt both thofe Nights, the 
fame was feen at Varis , with much the fame Cireumftances 
as at Dublin. So that it feems this Meteor, though no ways 
comparable to that of the 6 th of March, was feen not lefs 
than i jo Leagues, and probably much further. 
1 he following Night, April 2. When it began to be dark, 
a Luminous Arch appear’d in the North, with a very narrow 
black Bottom under it, very low, and deprefs’d to the Ho- 
rizon,* nor was it feen at, or about London, to projed any 
pointed Rays as the former. 
But what was molt remarkable that Evening, was, what 
was feen at London , by that ingenious Gentleman Martin 
Foulks y Elq; R. S. S. about Nine that Night. He being in 
the open Air at that time, faw in an Inftant, a bright 
Ray of very white Light, appear in the Eaft, out of the 
pure Sky, then very ferene and ftill ; it very much refembled 
the Tail of a Comet, and was about 20 gr. inclined from 
the Perpendicular to the Right, beginning about y of 
Bayer in the Corona Borea, and terminating about the Informix 
by fome call’d Cor Caroli. This having appear’d but a very 
lhorttime, difappear’d at once, as in a Moment. When on a 
fudden, fuch another Beam was inftantly produced, not ex- 
actly in the fame place, but in the fame Situation. Its low, 
er end being about 20 gr. high, was terminated exa&ly 
between « and .y, 'in the Right Hand and Arm of Hercules , 
and the Middle of it paft over <r and g in the Girdle of Bootes , 
and thence proceeded Weftwards, leaving Cor Caroli four or 
five degrees to the Northwards. After it had continued in 
this pofture near 10 Minutes immoveable among the Stars, 
it began to move flowly towards the North : and the lower 
end paffing over the Northern Edge of the Crown, and the 
Ray it felf over Cor Caroli , it grew fainter, and vanifhed, 
having continued in all about 20 Minutes. This latter with 
fome Interruptions was extended between Cafior and Bollux, 
very far into the Weft. And about that time, the fame, or 
fuch another Beam, was feen at St. Afaph , by Do&or Stanley , 
the Reverend Dean of that Church.
