Abstract
MR. STROMEYER's letter in NATURE of the 9th inst. (p. 225) reminds me of a magnificent display that I once saw of luminous white clouds, transparent to the stars, which shone brightly through them. These clouds were extended like ribbons from north to south across the sky, in a way not uncommon with true clouds. I thought, and still think, that they were an aurora. May not those described by Mr. Stromeyer have been the same?
