Abstract
DURING the past two or three years what appears to the writer a distinct class of luminous night clouds in the north sky have occupied his attention. They have probably not escaped more competent observers, and been perhaps referred to simple auroral phenomena, thus escaping discussion. A very marked example was visible here the night before last (22nd inst.), of which inclosed is an illustration from a sketch at the moment.
