Scientific paper

AN aurora of unusual form appeared here this evening at 7.8 p.m. My attention was attracted by a patch of light in the south-west about 10° above the horizon, and about 6° in diameter. On looking to the north, I saw the usual streamers and bright light indicating an aurora; presently another patch of light, similar to the first, appeared in the south-east, and then others between these two, forming a continuous arch lying, as near as I could judge, in the diurnal path of the sun in midwinter. The arch had a sharp outline below, and from the brightest portion of it extended short streamers, towards the zenith; the colour was a greenish white. In a few minutes the continuous arch disappeared, leaving the brightest portions, which disappeared and reappeared alternately in patches until 7.40, when the last rather suddenly died out.
