This Paper was considered by the Section worthy of being 
printed in the Memoirs, and will be read at an Ordinary 
Meeting of the Society. 
In the course of a discussion whieh ensued on the red color 
of the sky, often observed as an indication of approaching bad 
weather, Mr. Binney mentioned that Mr. Dancer had shown 
him an aurora borealis of a pale greenish white color, which, 
when observed through glass upon which moisture had been 
deposited, appeared red. 
Mr. Baxendell mentioned that several fogs, especially 
those which had occurred in the early part of the present 
winter, had been observed by him to be luminous, and that 
Mr. Crosse, the electrician, had found many fogs to be highly 
electrical.
