AURORAS were visible at Lyons, New York, on September 9, 10, and 11. That on September 9 was very fine, flickering streamers and arches forming at intervals from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock p.m. A peculiar feature of this aurora was an arch similar to that described in NATURE of September 17 (vol. xliv. p. 475), as having been seen by Mr. Tuckwell at Loughrigg, Ambleside, on September 11. The arch seen at Lyons on September 9 was visible shortly after sunset, and remained in the same position throughout the evening. It consisted of a narrow band of light, which arose vertically from a point on the horizon nearly due west, and passed through the constellations of the Northern Crown and the Lyre, and just south of the zenith down to the eastern horizon. When it was brightest, at about 10 p.m., a few small streamers formed in connection with it nearly in the zenith; otherwise it consisted simply of a narrow band of white light separated by a wide interval from the auroral coruscations and streamers in the northern heavens. This seems to have been very similar to the band seen by Mr. Tuckwell. Other instances have been noted by the writer in which some peculiarity of form or colour characteristic of an outbreak of the aurora has attended its appearance in localities remote from each other.
