THE brilliant displays of the Aurora Borealis observed in England on the 24th of September and the 14th of October, 1870,* were also generally observed in this country. The fact may be worthy of record in your journal, as indicating the unusual extent of the phenomena. As the newspapers in different parts of the United States contained full descriptions of these displays, a detailed account need not here be given. I may remark, however, that they were generally regarded as the most brilliant displays we have had since 1859. Fine auroras were again witnessed on Monday morning, October 24th, from 5 to 6.30 A.M., and on the evening of the same day, from 6 to 11 P.M. At 9 P.M. (on the evening of the 24th) an auroral arch passed very nearly through the zenith from the eastern to the western horizon, or rather from a point a few degrees south of east, to another somewhat north of west. An extraordinary number of more feeble auroras have been noticed during the last two months.
