THE results of the observations by M. Eginitis of the recent Leonid shower indicate that there was another maximum on the night of November 15, occurring several hours previously to that seen by observers situated in or near the longitude of Greenwich. This early maximum was evidently of a very distinct character at Athens, as the observations showed a regular increase and decrease of meteoric frequency before and after the time of culmination (15-16h., local time), the watch having been prolonged for some hours further, or until 17h. 50m. Athens was evidently too far east to permit observers there taking cognisance of the later outburst of meteoric activity that added considerably to the strength of the shower here. The maximum mentioned by M. Eginitis does not appear to have been very noticeable as such to British observers, though it was anticipated here that that event should occur on November 15 at 13h. 30m. G.M.T., the calculated maximum thus falling within the hour, when we allow for the difference of longitude, during which it was actually observed at Athens. The later maximum came altogether unexpected. It is noteworthy that these maxima seem to have been characterised by quite a distinct type of meteor.
