Abstract
SINCE 1911 photograms of aurora have been taken systematically from my stations in southern Norway, and many hundred photograms and ordinary photographs have been measured and calculated in order to find the height and situation of aurora in space. A detailed report of the results from 1911 to 1922 has recently been presented to the Academy of Science in Oslo, and it is to be hoped that the publication will not be very long delayed. During the years 1923, 1924, 1925, and 1926 the work has been continued, with six stations at work, and more than 250 successful photograms have been taken, and several hundred photographs. This material, which has not yet been completely measured and calculated, will be a very valuable supplement to that mentioned above.
