Weftern Extremity was curved into an Arch termi-

Degree to the Weft, there appeared a fort of Hiatus, 
not unlike that in the Eaft already deferibed, and 
which had vanifhed by this time. 
Seven Hours 20 Minutes, the whole Aurora was

At half an Hour after Eight, almoft in an Inftant

Weft to the 50th Eaft, became more vivid, and rofe 
higher ? and above this appeared a new large one, of 
a red firy Colour, with feveral fucceftive Stream- 
ings tending upward, and palling 60 Degrees of Alti-
