IN addition to the four or five meteors recorded last week in NATURE (vol. lii. p. 395-6), by Mr. Denning, as having been simultaneously observed at more than one station during this year's August-meteor period, particulars which have just now reached me of some observations of the Perseïds made at Tring, in Herts, on the night of the 11th inst., show that two of the meteors seen and mapped here between 9.45 and 12 P.M. on that night, also had their apparent paths mapped simultaneously at a place at Tring, about nineteen miles due north from this point of observation. The base-line between the two stations is a rather short one for such comparative determinations, but as the recorded nights passed nearly overhead, and nearly from east to west across the line between the stations, the conditions for accuracy were very favourable in both the meteors' cases, and the apparent paths seem also, by the comparison, to have been mapped with much precision. They require, however, as usual, corrections of a few degrees at the beginning and end points to make them quite geometrically compatible.
