LAST night, at 10h. 55m. G.M.T., I had the good fortune to witness the flight of a magnificently brilliant meteor. I was standing outside in the south-east re-entering corner of this building, and happened to be looking up at the constellation Leo, when the meteor suddenly flashed into sight from over the roof of the Observatory, a little east of the zenith, and not far from the stars κ and ι Ursæ Majoris, passed east of Procyon, and did not disappear till it had reached a position about 5° east of Sirius. An immediate reference to the map showed the positions of its appearance and disappearance to be about 9h. + 48° and 7h. - 15°.
