Abstract
SOME curious phenomena accompanying the splendid aurora of Oct. 15, 1926, were observed by me. On the night in question I was working as observer of international determinations of longitude at the top of a hill named Voxenaasen in the neighbourhood of Oslo (approximate altitude, 470 metres). I was at work in a field observatory with a transit instrument registering star transits and chronometer beats for time determinations, when an initial aurora attracted my attention. My assistant was Mr. G. Jelstrup, electrotechnical student.
