Abstract
WITH reference to the aurora reported by Mr. W. F. Denning at Bristol on August 27, between 2 and 4 a.m. G.M.T. (NATURE, August 31, p. 551), the Director of the Meteorological Office notes a report received from Mr. J. Ernest Grubb, observer at Seskin, near Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Waterford, Ireland, that aurora was visible there on the night of August 26 between 10.5 and 10.40 p.m. G.M.T. The greatest display noted by Mr. Grubb occurred about 10.25 p.m., when streamers from N.W. to N.N.E. stretched to within 20° or 30° of the zenith. The light was sufficiently brilliant to illuminate the interior of a room facing W.N.W.
