Scientific paper
In this paper the 3759 radar meteor orbits determined from Adelaide, South Australia, in the 1960's are analysed using a new and powerful stream-search technique. Although there is some evidence for Lexell-related showers, this is not unambiguous due to the presence in the sporadic background of many orbits with similar orbital characteristics (very low inclinations, aphelia close to Jupiter), so that the reality of the stream cannot be proven. In a final section, the remarkable similarity between the characteristics of a hypothetical meteor shower in early December (put forward on the basis of weather records by Bowen, 1957) and the possible shower associated with Lexell occurring at that time, is briefly described.
