ON Wednesday, December 14, at 10.30 p.m., I saw a very brilliant meteor. It appeared to start from the barren region of the Lynx, bordering on the Twins, a little to the east, and above Pollux, and travelled in the direction of Canis Minor. It was much brighter than any object then shining, though Jupiter and Sirius were both visible, and left a train of light behind which appeared to be granular, of a dull red colour, and fusiform in shape. I did not see the meteor through its entire path, on account of a house intervening, but the train of light behind it was not visible at the commencement of its path, and appeared to terminate before the disappearance of the meteor. This was by far the brightest meteor I ever saw. The same evening and the week previously I saw many meteors in the region of Aries, but none very brilliant.
