THERE can be little doubt that your Australian correspondent, Mr. Lefroy (vol. xii. p. 329), has seen one of the phases of an Aurora Australis. Similar appearances have been observed by me in Scotland, passing south of the zenith (and nearly through the anti-dip, as at Fremantle). Their sudden occurrence and temporary persistence are perplexing to those who have not seen this particular display before. The first seen by myself (in 1844, I think) was a single beam which remained in the same position during some hours ; it was described by me next day in a local paper, while a well-known observer in a communication to an Edinburgh journal had taken it for a comet.
