A SPLENDID shower of meteors occurred on the night of November 27, 1885. Seen from Ava, near Mandalay, at 10 p.m. mean time of place, the point of emergence was near the zenith, and the shower radiated to each point of the horizon. The rate at that hour was 450 to 600 per minute, as near as I could judge lying on my back on the steamer's awning. It is probable, however, that I missed a great many. The point of emergence was at one-fifth the distance from γ Andromedæ (Almach) towards β Andromedæ (Mirach). The following night the shower was still plentiful, but I did not count them. The nights have been very clear and beautiful here.
