ON August 4, 10h. 40m., a beautiful slow meteor was seen here threading its way from about 2° S. of o Ursæ Majoris to very slightly below β Aurigæ. Its light fluctuated greatly, but at its best it must have been brighter than Jupiter, though the effect was much marred by mist. The most noteworthy feature was its extreme slowness of movement; a careful determination gave 8 seconds as the time it remained in sight. There was no train of any sort; the meteor rolled along with a star-like aspect, and its velocity near the end point became so much impeded that it seemed almost stationary. I observed fifty-seven other meteors during the same night, but none of these could be associated in appearance and direction with the one specially described. Its radiant-point was probably in Ursa Major, close to β, at about 162° + 59°.
