Scientific paper

IN the moonlight on the evening of January 2, at 10h. 58m., a fine meteor, equal in brightness to Jupiter, was observed by Mr. D. Booth at Leeds, and by myself at Bristol. As seen from Leeds, the meteor passed from Musca to the head of Cetus, and terminated its course about 3° east of α Ceti. It moved rather quickly, leaving a long thin train. The fore-part of the nucleus was tinted with red, but the train was yellow. At the finish the motion became slower. At Bristol the meteor was first seen when about 6° S.E. of ζ Draconis, and it travelled some 8° in the direction of β Cephei. Colour yellow, motion very slow. The course was evidently much foreshortened close to its radiant.
