IN a letter which you published some time ago on ``night-shining clouds,'' there was a request for notes of their occurrence. It may, therefore, interest some of your readers to know that they were well seen here on the evening of the 4th inst. They appeared rather suddenly shortly before 10 p.m., covering the sky from N. to N.E., and from the horizon for about 15° up. They were not in regular strata, but scattered in all directions, like cirrus after a storm. About midnight they were still visible, but more to the left, some being west of north. The first time I saw these clouds was on June 18, 1886, soon after midnight, when they were about N.W., and 20° from the horizon, and since then they have often been seen; but never, so far as I know, with the storm-tossed appearance they presented last week.
