Scientific paper

A FINE display of aurora was observed here on the evening of January 4. A faint northern glow was seen at 8.30, which quickly grew in brightness, and at 8.45, streamers in great quantity were visible. At 9 these became tinted with glowing red on their upper portions. After exhibiting lively motions for a quarter of an hour or so, the phenomenon settled down into a brilliant and steady arch of light, red on the outside and white within, resting on what appeared to be a bank of dark cloud. By eye estimate this arch would extend about 90 along the horizon, its apex over the north-north-west from 25° to 30° in height. The glow was still visible at 10 p.m., though considerably diminished in intensity. During the whole of the day a dry and frosty north-west wind prevailed, and the temperature at 10 p.m. was 28°.
