STANDING by the Hampstead Heath flagstaff last Friday evening (12th), a few minutes before ten, I witnessed a feeble but characteristic display of the Aurora Borealis. Looking to the north-west, and midway between Ursa Major and the horizon, was a speck of pale bluish-green luminousness. While wondering as to the cause, a flickering shaft of crimson-tinted light shot upward in the direction of the ``Pointers.'' This was followed by other streamers and ``glows,'' sometimes white, sometimes slightly coloured. Occasionally patches of hazy light would be formed, through which the stars could be seen, and once a number of horizontal bands or waves passed upward from the horizon in quick succession, travelling almost to the star G in Ursa Major before they faded away. At 10.20 p.m., when I left the spot, the streamers had apparently ceased, but the sky was still luminous. Throughout the display was very faint and the colours very weak-mere tints.
