THE large meteor described in NATURE by Mr. P. L. Sclater, was observed here as follows:- Nov. 17, 7h. 18m.-Fireball many times brighter than Venus. Path from 32½° + 45° to 158° + 55°. Motion very slow, duration 7 seconds. Train, but no enduring streak. The fireball, as it gradually descended to the northern horizon, varied greatly in brilliancy, and gave a series of flashes lighting up the sky with great effect. I have occasionally seen larger fireballs, but never observed one more satisfactorily. This meteor was observed at Handsworth, Birmingham; at Crawshaw Booth, Lancashire; and at many other parts of the country. Its unusual brightness seems to have attracted wide notice.
