A SHOOTING-STAR, equal in apparent brightness to the planet Jupiter, was seen hereby me this evening at 9h 18m. It traversed a path of 24° in two seconds, beginning at R.A. 242°, D + 47°, and ending at R.A. 278°, D + 50°. No perceptible train remained after the disappearance of the nucleus, which, however, emitted numerous sparks when in motion. The radiant point of this meteor was probably near β Boötis, and identical with No. 36 in Mr. R. P. Greg's table of radiant positions in the ``Monthly Notices R.A.S.,'' vol. xxxii. p. 350. This is given at R.A. 223°, D + 40° by Greg and Herschel, and at R.A. 224°, D + 38° by Schiaparelli and Zezioli. The meteor described above was not therefore a member of the well-marked meteoric streams of April 18-20. At stations eastward it was probably a much brighter object than observed here, and these brief details may be useful, taken in conjunction with others, in determining its height and velocity.
