I WITNESSED last night one of the finest displays of the aurora borealis which it has been my good fortune to see n this country. It happened at about 9 p.m., and I was at the time upon one of the highest summits of the Cotteswold Hills, close upon 1000 feet above the sea-level, so that I had an uninterrupted view of the magnificent spectacle. The first I saw of it was several streamers and an indistinct band low down on the northern horizon, with a detached red, cloud-like portion almost due west. These resolved themselves eventually into two bands, the uppermost stretching right across the sky from north-west to north-east, and during the maximum phase of the phenomenon was a truly grand spectacle, with numerous streamers connecting the two bands. The uppermost band finally faded away, leaving the lowermost one still visible but very indistinct, with two or three faint streamers shooting upwards.
