I AM sure that a great many of your readers who are interested in the subject of meteors have noticed the letters of Mr. John R. Henry which have appeared from time to time in your columns, but I do not recollect having seen any letter from an observer stating either that Mr. Henry's prediction had been fulfilled or that it had failed. If a shower of the thirty-third magnitude is sufficiently marked to enable three secondary maxima to be fixed with accuracy, one of the third magnitude, such as we are promised at the end of this month (February) ought to be very perceptible indeed. But perhaps the word ``magnitude'' does not refer to the number of the meteors but to their average mass. If so, how is this mass to be ascertained? Mr. Henry gives us no information as to the part of the sky in which these meteors should on each occasion be looked for.
