WILL you allow me to supplement the observations of the Geminids recorded in the first paragraph of your ``Astronomical Column'' in NATURE of December 19, p. 157, by mentioning some of my own? They may be interesting as showing the continuance of the shower, as I was unable to begin to keep watch until 12h. 30m. on the 12th. Twenty-seven meteors which appeared in the south and south-east were charted between that hour and 14h. 45m., when clouds finally covered that part of the sky. Of these, sixteen were from one or other of three radiants in Gemini, the most brilliant occurring at 12h. 42m. (= 1st magnitude), at 13b. 35m. (= magnitude r½.), at 14h. 16m. (= 1st magnitude), and at 14h. 23½m. (= Jupiter in brightness). It will be seen, therefore, that with regard to frequency of meteors this later portion of the shower was not to be compared with that witnessed before midnight. Twelve meteors, including one of the first magnitude and two even brighter, were mapped between 11h. 30m. and 13h. on the night of the 9th; four of these were Geminids.
