Scientific paper

A MAGNIFICENT meteor was seen here by me at 9h. 8m. this evening. Starting from near β Leonis,the body travelled, nearly overhead, to near η Draconis. The head was yellowish and distinctly pear-shaped, pouring out behind it a shimmering tail of reddish material. The flight occupied some 5 sec. or more, for I had time to direct the attention of the Misses Baxandall-with whom I was talking-to it, and they then saw quite half the flight. The matter left behind was quite bright, tapering off for some 3°, and then quickly fading away. There was no sound and no violent disruption. The meteor, in flight, reminded me strongly of the photographs of Borrelly's comet published by the Lick observers in 1903. A marked feature was the leisurely flight and the appearance of matter being poured out from the receding head.
