THE Aurora Borealis of January 4, 1917, described by Mr. Denning and Dr. Rambaut in NATURE of January 18, was also observed by Mr. Alfrel Noël Neate, at Carlisle. He has kindly sent me the following description of the display:-``I observed a very great display of aurora on Thursday evening, January 4. The principal display was observed by me at about 10.45 p.m., but I had seen a lesser one at 5.45 p.m. Notwithstanding the advanced phase of the moon, the whole northern half of the hemisphere was affected by it, and had the moon been absent the sight would have been truly magnificent. As it was, great beams shot up vertically and horizontally, the latter forming great arches, and the former appearing like searchlights. Frequently an immense area of the sky would become illuminated as if by a great cloud of mist, and the light would pass up to the zenith with lightning rapidity, appearing like clouds of light being wafted upwards from the N. horizon. The clouds were mostly greenish, like a gas-mantle, but the background of the sky was pale ruby.''
