ACCORDING to my promise to send you accounts of any remarkable meteors that I may see here, I now notify one which appeared yesterday evening, April 13, at 20 minutes past 6 P.M. We were driving slowly home from Ansevata, near Noumea, when a splendid brilliant pure white meteor fell from the zenith, about 30°, quite perpendicularly and slowly. It burst into three pieces, and instantly disappeared. From Noumea its direction was due south, and in size it appeared four or five times larger than Venus. We heard no noise; the sound of the carriage wheels grinding on the road would have prevented any but a rather loud one being audible. It was not dark, but twilight.
