The Phenomenon lafted each Day far an Hour and an 
half, or two Hours. What was raoft remarkable on 
Monday was that the Wind, which on Sunday had been 
alnooft infenfible, was now become fen(ible,and changed 
to N. N. E. that the Hah was fenftbly become oval } 
its fhorter Axis parallel to the Horizon , and the two 
Mock-Suns , which were then but juft vilible, efpecial- 
ly that on the Eaft, were not in the Halo , but a Degree 
or two without it, which I afcribe to the unufual Short- 
nefs of the Horizontal Diameter; which Pofttion of the 
Mock-Suns does not appear to have been hitherto taken 
Notice of by any, though it was now very fenfible. 
On Thurfday Morning, Ottob. 26. as I was coming 
in the Northampton Coach towards London , about 9 
o’Clock, the Halo returned larger and clearer than be- 
fore } and the two Mock-Suns juft attempted an Ap- 
pearance therein, as on Sunday 5 but the Air becoming 
thicker and thicker towards Rain, I faw them no more. 
I add nothing to this Account, but only, that Aug. 3 o. be- 
fore, 1 faw at the fame Place Rutland a remarkable Halo , 
whofe upper Part had its inverted Arc reddifti within, 
and pale without, but brighter and more vivid than 
ever I faw in my Life: That we had there, Sept, ir, 
in the Evening, the lighted: and moft remarkable Au- 
rora Borealis , with its unaccountable Motions and Re- 
movals, that ever I faw j excepting that original one, 
March 6 1 171* : That it was feen in Northamptonfiire , 
at the Bath , and elfewhere : That the Vertex of the Co- 
lumns which (hot upwards, was not our Vertex , but evi- 
dently 1 5 or 20 Degrees diftant towards the South ; and 
that the Wind was in Rutland North, as I obferved 
myfelf:, at the Bath Weft, as Mr. Molyneux obferved j 
and, as 1 am inform’d by Sir Robert Clarke , in North - 
amptonjhire
