Scientific paper

I HAD the pleasure on Friday evening last, the 16th inst., of observing a brilliant meteor from a point about half-way between the towns of Blaenau and Llan Festiniog. The time was 9.10 p.m., the sky quite clear, and not dark enough for any stars to appear. The meteor appeared almost due south of my position, the length of its path being an arc of about 20°, disappearing a short distance above the horizon, and lasting about four seconds. Very little trail could be seen, as it was practically daylight. The colour appeared of a bluish tinge, and the meteor appeared to become brighter in the middle of its path.
