Scientific paper

THIS interesting display was also observed in the neighbourhood of the small town of Santa Lucia in Venezuela (10° 12' N., 68° 57' W. from Paris), by Dr. A. Alamo. The first meteors were seen at half-past 7, about 100 in 30 minutes. Most of them followed an easterly course, some leaving a luminous track visible for several minutes. From 8 to 12 o'clock their number was too large for counting, but after midnight the weather got misty, and few meteors could be distinguished. The shower, however, continued, and still in the morning some meteors were traceable. Unfortunately Dr. Alamo cannot say anything about the radiant point of the shower. At Carácas the sky was densely overcast, and not even a glimpse of the spectacle could be obtained.
