Abstract
I CAN now answer Dr. Burder's question regarding the appearance of the Aurora Borealis in the Arctic Regions. The other evening (last Thursday) I had a conversation with a distinguished magnetician and Arctic explorer, and he informed me that he has often seen the Aurora in broad daylight in those regions, the colour invariably being crimson. This, I hope, will once for all settle the apparently vexed question (pace Dr. Burder) of “alleged” daylight Auroras. Not to repeat the entire “crusher” of Dr. Burder's, I think many will now discard as “unworthy of serious criticism” his cirrus-cloudy arguments. He must pardon me for being so unceremonious, and remember his own interesting way of confuting—or, better, his attempt.
