THE meteor seen by Mr. Hall of Shoreham (NATURE, vol. xxviii. p. 126) was also observed by Mr. James Cullen of the Stonyhurst Observatory. Its path, as seen from here, was from S.E. by E. to N.E. by E. (true), traversing an arc of about 70°. Its altitude was not more than from 12° to 15° above the horizon. It travelled exceedingly slowly, was visible for about 20 seconds, and was first seen at 10.30 p.m. G.M.T. Its size was that of the full moon, white in colour, and with a tail 10° to 12° in length. It burst into a shower of small pieces before it disappeared, presenting exactly the appearance described by your correspondent.
