Abstract
I BEG your acceptance of the two inclosed clippings from the Saturday Press of this city, together with an advance sheet from Thrum's Hawaüan Annual for 1884, which contain nearly all that has been put into print here about the wonderful “after-glow” which has excited such attention in so many parts of the globe. In the first communication of September 19, I recorded the important date of September 5, when the first and most brilliant display was observed, being moved thereto by the arrival of the news of the Java eruption, whose proximity in time seemed to lend especial importance to the phenomenon. In the second notice is recorded an observation of like phenomena in lat. 24° 06′ N., long. 140° 29′ W., 1100 miles east-northeast of us, from the log of the bark Hope, Penhallow, master, on September 18.
