A VERY brilliant display of aurora was seen here last night, the 25th inst. At about 9.25 p.m. a number of red streamers proceeded from a length of some 110° in azimuth along the northern horizon, and extended upwards for (on an average) 30°. The length of the streamers varied quickly, sometimes shooting upwards for 70° from the horizon. In the course of five minutes the red streamers gave way to white or yellowish white ones, narrower and more sharply defined than the red ones. At 9.40 p.m. there was a decrease in the brilliancy of the phenomenon, but at 9.45 p.m. long red streamers again appeared for a few minutes, which again shortly gave way to a brightness of the horizon only. Close to the horizon the colour was white, or nearly so, the whole time. The apparent point of convergence of the streamers was far south of the zenith, say 30°.
