BEING absent I did not see the letter on the Lyrids of 1903 at the time of its appearance in NATURE of July 23. The Lyrid maximum occurred this year, it would seem, on the night of April 22, or a day later than an important display observed by Mr. Denning on April 21, 1901. The night of April 22 happened to be overcast here. There was a fair amount of meteoric activity seen by the present writer and other observers on the night of April 19, several brilliant meteors having been observed. If the computed time of the maximum for that night be correct, viz. 10h. 30m., it would not, of course, have been possible for observers situated near the longitude of Greenwich to witness the display in its entirety.
