Abstract
SURELY the “luminous clouds” reported from Cornwall on September 10, in your issue of September 29, were auroral. It is a pity if no other record of altitude has been made, when one observation of such precision is available. I myself have a fairly good record of the upper edge of the bright arch, low down in the N.W. on the previous evening at 11 p.m., as seen from Croydon. If others have a record of this, a comparison might be of value.
