ABOUT 12.47 A.M. (Irish time) on Monday the 18th inst., I observed a brilliant meteor when looking north from the south side of Dublin. It resembled a bluish white ball with an apparent diameter of about one-fifth that of the moon, which was shining brightly at the time, and left behind it a continuous yellowish luminous train. When first sighted it appeared at an angular distance of about 15° from the polar star, and appeared to be in the constellation of the Dragon, about midway between the brilliant star of the constellation of Lyra and the polar star, somewhat below the line joining these constellations.
