Abstract
I HAVE to correct an important error in my account of the aurora of the 4th, published by you on the 8th. I stated that it was finest between 6 and 7. At 9 it appeared to be fading, and I ceased to watch it; but I learned afterwards that it rekindled, and was at its highest between 9 and 10. The colour was still red, and the columns of light met near the zenith.
