THE observations described in your last number as having been made long since in Siberia, of lunar halos projected on auroras, have not, I believe, been confirmed by other observers; but if correct, possibly this phenomenon may be a peculiarity of auroras in Siberia, or in the Arctic regions. There seems reason to think (see Capron's ``Auroræ,'' pp. 37-40) that auroras maybe lower when near the magnetic pole than further south. If this is the case, it is so far favourable to the theory (propounded, I think, by a German writer) described in NATURE (Vol. xxv. p. 320), that the auroral zone is a plane, and not part of a sphere concentric with the earth's surface. The majority of the observations in lower latitudes cited in Capron's ``Auroræ,'' place the phenomenon at a height of 100 miles or upwards.
