IN NATURE, vol. xxvii. p. 434, reading somewhat hastily, I took the brilliant meteor there mentioned to be one I myself saw. Reading more carefully, however, in last week's issue, I see that both day and hour and direction differ. On March 4, about 8.45 p.m., a very large and bright meteor passed at a low altitude from south to north. It was of a greater apparent size than Venus, quite as bright, but with a greener light. The motion was slow, no train; it only became incandescent during a short part of its transit, and passing behind the roofs of some houses was immediately lost to sight.
