Scientific paper

THE large meteor seen by Mr. Hall and others (NATURE, vol. xxviii. pp. 126, 150) was also observed here by Mr. Paul Mathews and myself. We estimated the length of its path while visible as 120° with the middle part due east, the direction of its motion as parallel to the horizon, elevation as 20°, and length of tail as 25° its apparent brilliance I put at six times, Mr. Mathews at twice, the greatest brilliance of Venus, and the pieces into which it broke up (about six in number) as equal to the brightest planets. The time I should have put at 10.50, but did not note it (Mr. Mathews 10.40 to 10.45). Tne colour was golden. This was moreover in a very clear and brilliant sky, as about 10 we had observed that the light in the east was so intense that it cast quite a dark shadow as we passed through a somewhat shady part of the road.
