Abstract
YOUR columns record, from Ireland and Scotland, observations of the aurora to which I called attention last week. It was seen also in Warwickshire, the coruscations being so marked as to remind my informant of the search-light at the Naval Exhibition. Mr. E. B. Knobel informs me that, from 8 to 10 p.m. on the 11th, during which time the appearance was visible, active magnetic disturbances were noticed at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, illustrating the close connection which has been established between auroral and magnetic phenomena.
