THE splendid meteor-shower of November 27 was well seen at St. Andrews. My attention was not called to it until after the meteors had begun to decline in frequency; but they were still at about 8h. 30m. G.M.T., so numerous as to give considerable confidence in assigning their radiant point, about which they were seen shooting out in all directions. I saw at least two, whose paths were foreshortened almost to a luminous point. These appeared very close to the radiant near two stars in the right foot of Andromeda, which in the maps of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge are numbered 51 and 54, or in about R. A. 25°, N. Decl. 48°. The sky became overcast; but about 11h. 30m., meteors were still falling in directions which confirmed my previous estimate of the position of their radiant. The sky was again clear at 1h. 30m. A.M., but I saw no more meteors.
