Scientific paper

ANOTHER display of aurora borealis occurred this evening. It was not to be compared in splendour with that of the night preceding, but it had some interesting and instructive features. The sky was not clear at any time, and the masses of red light, which occupied generally similar situations to those of the preceding night were interrupted in many places by dense clouds. I observed it at about half-past six P.M., and at that time the most remarkable feature was that streamers (generally not of a red colour) radiate from every part of the north horizon accurately to a point defined very nearly by one of the stars σ Cygni or ɛ Cygni, which were then near the meridian. I did not see both stars, and I am therefore in doubt, as they are of equal magnitudes, which was the star nearest to the point of convergence of the streamers.
