OWING to the large numbers of shooting stars visible on the night of November 15, 1903, the expectation of witnessing a meteoric spectacle on perhaps a more extensive scale will probably be revived on the near approach of the Leonid epoch of 1904. Reasons have already been given for supposing that last year's display was connected by the nineteen years' period with a very similar phenomenon observed on November 13, 1865, the interval between the two events representing two complete revolutions of the meteoric cycle. The present epoch, therefore, which is thus associated with the historic meteor shower of November 14, 1866, will be liable to reproduce its brilliant prototype, though only to a limited extent.
