the Sky, and all terminating in the Zenith form’d a 
Sort of Cupola there. The Conclufion he has not 
obferv’d. 
Sign. Francejco Quaranbotti writes fromTreggiaia, 
Off. 20. 1726. N.S. that he firft obferv’d it a little be- 
fore eight in the Evening, when it extended it felf a- 
long the North Horizon about eighty Degrees, and 
reach’d above it about eight. After fbme Time, the 
luminous Emifilons began to rife perpendicularly, 
and continued from time to timefo to do, from nine till 
eleven. About ten it enlarged it felf fifteen Degrees 
farther Eaft , and ftretch’d under the laft Star in IJrfa 
major. At eleven it vanifhed. 
An anonymous Account in Latin from Florence in- 
forms us, that it was firll feen there at half an Hour 
' pad fix in the Evening, with a clear expanded Light, 
occupying all the Space betwixt the North-Eajl and 
North-IVeft. At feven it divided it felf into feveral 
fpherical Triangles near the Horizon , which half an 
Hour afterwards united into one large one, whofe Bale 
was near the Horizon r and extended twenty De- 
grees to the IV eji from the North-Bole , and whole 
Vertex reach’d up to ‘Vrfa minor. This continu’d a- 
bout half an Hour, and then difappear’d ; but at ten 
o’ Clock it return’d much more confpicuoully, form- 
ing about the Bole , a large Column which was rais’d 
thirty Degrees above the Horizon . From this Time 
it iffued out lucid Undulations till Midnight, when it 
entirely difpers’d. He afterwards takes Notice that the 
fame was feen at Milan, and Bologna ; the Accounts 
from whence agree* that none erf the Streams reach’d 
beyond the Zenith.
