17 th . — After a very wet day, during which the temperature remained stea- 
dily at 59°, and the barometer about 29,75, a display of the aurora borealis was 
seen at 1 0 p. m. It was neither vivid nor long continued, and presented only 
the usual appearances of that meteor. 
18 th . — Minimum temperature of the preceding night 53°. This day was a 
very pleasant one. Cumuli prevailed. 
31s£ — The coincidence of the dew-point, as observed in the afternoon, and 
the minimum temperature of the succeeding night, was very remarkable du- 
ring the ten last days of the month : it was equally so in E., NE., N¥. and 
W. winds, the difference seldom amounting to more than one degree.
