IN case England has been clouded on the 27th, it may be well to state that the meteors were brilliantly seen in the Adriatic. A few were visible on the night of the 26th; on the 27th, at 16h 30m. G. M. T., they averaged thirty per minute; at 17h. they had much increased, and were counted, at 18h. 10m., at seventy per minute, while at 20h. 40m. they had decreased to thirty per minute again; on the 28th very few were seen. During the rapid shower they were not equally distributed; for six or eight seconds only one or two were to be seen, and then, in a couple of seconds, perhaps eight would be counted, mostly seen simultaneously. The radiant-point was estimated at about 15° S. of the following end of Cassiopeia at 16h. 30m., and at about 3° S. of the preceding end at 20h. 40m. The trails were more persistent and brilliant in the latter part of the evening. One was distinctly seen by two observers to sharply bend its apparent course about 20°, possibly a case of perturbation by a non-luminous meteor, or else of splitting. A large number were as bright as first-magnitude stars, and many equal to Venus.
