Scientific paper

A VERY brilliant meteor was seen here on March 2 at 9.35 p.m. It burst forth in the immediate neighbourhood of Sirius, and passed downwards to the west at about an angle of 40° from the perpendicular, disappearing after a course of about 25°. Its light was so strong as to make the distant trees, fields, and hedges perfectly visible, brighter than the brightest moonlight. Its colours also were very decided, changing quickly, much as does Sirius to the naked eye, but showing more of the violet at first, and afterwards more of the red.
