THE meteor described by your correspondent ``B. W. S''. was also observed by me at Bristol traversing a long path of 59° from 247° + 42° to 200° +/- 0°. It was brighter than Jupiter, and travelled very slowly, the estimated duration being 7 or 8 seconds. The nucleus cast off a tail of sparks as it went along, and varied very perceptibly in brightness. At mid-course it seemed near extinction, but suddenly revived to its previous brilliancy, which was then sustained until near the end point.
