THE meteor described by Mr. R. W. S. Griffith in the last number of NATURE was also observed at Bristol and Bath. At the latter place it was seen by Mr. J. L. Stothert at 9h. 33m. 40s., passing in the direction from a Hydræ to η Canis Majoris. The brilliancy of the meteor was equal to twice that of Venus colour yellow; motion slow; no train. Comparing this observation with that obtained by Mr. Griffith, it would seem that the meteor probably belonged to a radiant point near Lyra, rising in the north-north-east at the time of its appearance. A meteor shower was observed by the writer on March 14, 1877, between 14h. 12m. and 15h. 43m, from the point α 277°, δ 25° +, the members of which were somewhat slow and devoid of streaks or trains, and the fireball of March 2 last appears to have belonged to the same stream.
