Abstract
A FAIRLY distinct aurora was visible here on the northern horizon last night. I first observed it at 9.15, when the streamers appeared somewhat less bright than the Milky Way. Ten minutes later one streamer, about 15° west of north, brightened considerably, and appeared of a pale reddish-yellow tint. It fluctuated in intensity, and soon became less bright. The streamers, which inclined slightly to the west of the vertical, extended to about 30° to 40° above the horizon.
