Scientific paper

THE large meteor described by two correspondents (NATURE, vol. xvi. p. 551) was observed also by several persons in this district, but most of the accounts are so meagre and doubtful as to possess little scientific value. The meteor appears, however, to have been well seen by Mr. W. Watkins Old, of The Parade, Monmouth, and his notes are so interesting that I beg to transcribe them. He says:- ``The meteor fell at 6.15 exactly. It appeared to me to descend perpendicularly some degrees from and to the west of Arcturus (which was shining brightly), and it disappeared behind a bank of dark cloud above the horizon at a point in a line projected beyond Arcturus, half the distance between that star and the last of those in the tail of Ursa Major, as roughly shown in the diagram below:-
