Scientific paper

A strong meteor shower was observed by members of the Nippon Meteor Society during the evening of October 8, 1985, across Japan. Most observations were visual but some were made telescopically or photographically. FM radio and TV camera techniques were also used. Considering the position of the radiant and the orbital elements of the meteors, the shower was undoubtedly the Giacobinids. The maximum zenithal hourly rate of the shower was 154 at 10h10m UT. This rate was, however, much lower than 5000 during the display of the Giacobinids in 1933 or in 1946.
