MR. MAXWELL HALL'S letter on this subject is of considerable interest. When the great meteor-shower of November 11-15 was traced to the orbit of the comet of 1866, it was natural to suppose that the fine fire-balls which occur about this period belong to the same series. Plainly, however, the Jamaica fire-ball recorded by Mr. Hall had a southern radiant far distant from that of the well-known Leonid shower. The same thing was noticed in the case of the shower of aërolites which fell in France on the 13th of November, 1835, the motion being south-east to north-west; and in many other instances in which fire-balls or aërolites were observed within this period the phenomena seem to agree best with a southern radiant, though the descriptions are not as full as we could desire. It thus appears highly probable that almost concident in time with the well-known Leonid shower there is another shower, rich in fire-balls and aërolites, proceeding from a southern radiant. I hope it will be watched from southern stations in future.
