MR. BACKHOUSE'S observation of the beginning of flight of the slow-moving meteor of March 1 appears to have been from a point 2° south-east of α Canis Minoris instead of between α and β of that constellation, as I at first assumed from the description. This misunderstanding shows the extreme importance of noting meteor tracks according to the best method, viz. that of giving the R.A. and Decl. of the beginning and end points. This is at once simple and effective; it avoids the frequent errors which occur when projecting meteor tracks from descriptions (sometimes ambiguous) of their courses by the stars, and saves endless trouble.
