ON Monday evening, the 6th inst., at 7.49 p.m. (Dublin time), I was walking from Blackrock to Dublin on the Blackrock road, and when passing by Booterstown I saw a very fine meteor of a brilliant white (such as the magnesium light) pass across the sky under the Plough at a slow rate, the course being parallel to the two lower stars of the four forming the Plough, and about the distance between the two ``pointers'' under it. It covered a flight of about 10° to 12°, and disappeared at a point about 15° to 20° above the horizon.
