Observations of the 1985 Giacobinid meteor shower, obtained with the 37.5-MHz pulsed meteor radar at Ondrejov Observatory on October 6-9, are reported. The maximum shower rate occurred between 9:55 and 10:05 UT on October 8, when 70 meteors down to radio magnitude +8 were detected at solar longitude 194.575 + or - 0.003 deg. The mass distribution index for radio magnitudes between -0.7 and +3.8 is found to be about 1.99.
