Scientific paper

I NOTICED in your number for last week the account of a brilliant meteor, observed in Cumberland on April 19. Now I had reported to me a very similar meteor at nearly the same time (about 8.40 P.M.), an account of which I forwarded, with my other results of the night's watch, to Mr. A. S. Herschel, who would gladly receive any further report of the same ; unfortunately, I have not that number of NATURE at hand, and therefore cannot make a personal application to your correspondent. On the same evening, about 10.7, I myself saw an exceedingly brilliant meteor, which fell to a point just S. of Vega. It is curious that both of these come from the radiant situated about R. A. 155, D + 47, or rather from one of the group of radiants there situated, M8 of Heis, 56 and 52 of Schiaparelli. It would be an interesting point of investigation whether the meteors from that radiant are of peculiar brightness.
