Scientific paper

HAVING read the two accounts of Aurora Borealis in this week's number of NATURE, I hope the following brief account of the very beautiful one that occurred here may not prove uninteresting. On Friday, the 14th Oct. at 8.15 p.m., I noticed a bright appearance towards the north-west, somewhat resembling the moon rising, and on going to the front of the house which faced the north, saw that the whole of the horizon from west to south-east was lit-up with a bluish white light. Gradually long streaks of the same colour stretched themselves up almost to the zenith, and then a blood-coloured light formed the higher portions, while the lower kept the bluish white colour already noticed.
