At 7 o’ Clock a black Cloud rofe up in the S.E. 
and quickly put on a femicircular Form, with light 
yellowifh Vapours afccnding out of its upper Edge, 
and reprcfenting a Glory of an uncommon Brightness. 
At 8 o’ Clock the black Cloud was difperfed, 
but the yellow Glory remained} and round that 
fprang up another Circle of Red, which made the 
whole appear very tremendous. 
The reddifh Streams, as well as this laft-mention'd 
Circle, were fo me times fo denfe, that even Stars of 
the firft Magnitude could not be feen thro’ them. 
There was now-and-then fome of the flafhing 
Aurora in different Parts of the Firmament, tho* 
not fo common as 1 have obferved at other times. 
The Night was full as light as it is when the 
Moon is about eight Days old } but I could compare 
it neither to the Light of the Sun nor Moon, fome 
of the original Colours feeming to be wanting : And 
the beft Defcription I can give of it is, to liken it 
to that Light produced in a dark Room, when one 
of the feven original Colours is feparated from the 
reft, after they have palled thro’ a Prifm, and been 
colle&ed together again by a convex Lens. 
This Evening the Barometer was 30.1 falling.
