Abstract
WITH reference to a letter from Dr. Chree in NATURE of November 30 (p. 101) upon the magnetic storm of November 15, it may perhaps be of interest to mention that, according to a notice in the newspaper Finmarken, the aurora of that day in Vardö (lat. 70° 22′) was by far the most splendid seen there for many years. It is described as bright red all over, and, when most vivid, forming a belt over the whole sky from south-west to northeast. At last, about 11 p.m., the light gathered in the southern sky, making the impression of a huge fire some forty kilometres away.
