Abstract
THE interesting paper by Dr. Chas. Chree in your issue of November 30 (p. 101) is inaccurate in one particular. He states that the storm of November 12 was not accompanied by auroræ. My friend Mr. John McHarg, of Lisburn, writes me that “it was fairly prominent, to be seen easily above the moonlight, the usual type, a steady glow brighter than the Milky Way, extending half round the horizon and fading off upwards at an altitude of 20°, or 30° in the west.”
