ON the evening of September 7, at about 9.7 P.M., while walking in a northerly direction in one of the streets of Tiverton, I saw a very large and brilliant meteor slowly descend from east to west, but in an almost vertical direction. The sky was almost entirely covered with a thin veil of cloud, which obscured the stars, so that I was not able to note its course with reference to them; but the altitude of the point at which it first appeared was about 45°, its path was inclined to the vertical at an angle of about 5°, and it disappeared behind a roof at an elevation of about 20°, at a point about 90° to the north of the moon which could be seen through the clouds. The light of the meteor was greenish and flickering, and far exceeded in intensity that of Venus when at her maximum brilliancy, but I could not see any train.
