Abstract
ON Tuesday, September 10, a beautiful display of the curtain Aurora Borealis was observed here at 9.30 p.m. It extended from the northern horizon to about 12°, and from north-by-east to north-north-west. The most brilliant part of the display lasted for about ten minutes after we first observed it, and then dissolved into a diffused, though vivid, glow. At 10.20 p.m. the Aurora was evidently much more distant, exhibiting itself as brilliant glow above the north-western horizon.
