Abstract
II. THE Aurora Borealis at Sodankylä.—Although the aurora borealis often appeared with considerable intensity, it did not boast many varieties. It began generally with a faint arc in the northern sky, which soon de veloped into a sharp arc, with streamers and a kind of luminous “drapery” spreading from east to west. The colour of this luminous drapery was not very changeable, so that the spectroscope only returned the usual yellowgreen line. Generally it was of a yellow-whitish colour, with a slight shade of green.
