All this while the ftreaming Lights appear'd in 
great Variety as to Figure, Place, Magnitude and 
Colour, but for the mod part of a redder Colour 
(efpecially towards the Well) than the Crepufculum it 
felf, out of which they feemed to be formed, and tho* 
for the moft part the greateft Appearances had been 
within 20 Degrees of the North on each fide, 3 et 
at due N. W. there were very many confiderable 
ones. 
About 8, this Crepufculum , (which had been con- 
dantly, though llowiy, carried further from the 
North) had, with the upper part of its outer Limb, 
reached to about to or 12 Degrees beyond the Pole- 
Star towards the Zenith, being now above 30 deg. 
broad, with a circular Segment of black clear Sky to 
the North, of about 25 deg. when the whole Crepuf- 
€ulum or Vapour was all fuddenly formed into ag- 
gregate Bodies like Vapours, and gave one of the mod: 
pleafing Appearances, that perhaps has been feen of 
this kind. The Bafes of the Cones feemed to red on 
the upper Limb of the Segment of clear Sky (which 
was extended near 6 o deg. on each fide the N.) and 
the Vertices of the Cones, pointing all towards the Ze- 
nith, approached within a few Degrees of it, and ter- 
minating there, formed the greated part of a Semicir- 
cle inclofed, as it were, with Golden Pallifadoes, which 
fhining all at once as bright almod as flame, and being 
of a prodigious Length and Number, exhibited a mod

This lad Phenomenon convinced us, that thefe 
Cones were Collections of the very fame Particles, 
whereof the Crepufculum had confided : becaufe 
when it appeared every where alike and equal, the 
great Stars Ihined through it but very faintly : where-
