Scientific paper

In conducting a search through the IAU Meteor Catalogue at Lund, a peak in activity on April 8th, not corresponding to any known shower was discovered. Analysis of the orbit shows that a subset of those meteors originated on very coherent orbits. It is suggested that there could either represent a hither to unidentified stream or that they are meteoroids which, like the April Lyrids, were ejected from Comet Thatcher but have arrived onto their current orbits as a consequence primarily of Poynting - Robertson drag.
