Scientific paper
ON Wednesday, June 7, 945 p.m. G.M.T., at a station 396 yards north-west by west of the transit-circle of the observatory, Mr. W. H. Robinson's attention was attracted by the sudden appearance of a fine meteor about 3° below Mars, which passed through a point 5° below Regulus, and, continuing its course about 12° further, finally disappeared. Almost instantly after being first seen, it shone very brightly, then assumed a train of detached luminous beads, and towards the end of its path burst, presenting an appearance similar to the bursting of a rocket. Its greatest brilliancy was equal to Venus. The length of the whole track was about 25°, and the time of visibility of the train was about five seconds.
