I HAVE just seen a very splendid meteor (at 10.40 p.m.). I watched it during about thirty seconds, in which time it traversed the heavens from about the point south-east nearly to that of northwest, where it burst. Its path was nearly parallel to the horizon, probably approaching it at an angle of about 5 degrees. When first seen it appeared nearly yellow as to colour, with a very fine tail, but just before it broke up the colour changed to white, and the fragments reminded me very much of some ``magnesium stars'' fired from a rocket. No doubt you will have a quantity of communications concerning this meteor. I wondered whether any one else had noticed this appearance.
