IN December, from observations of 163 shooting stars seen in 20½ hours' watching, chiefly in the evenings, I amply confirmed several of the positions of radiant points as given in my note (NATUKE, vol. xv., p. 158), and observed that several of the showers there mentioned were actively continued. The centres, as I gave them, of two of these require revision, as the additional meteors seen in December indicate the radiants with greater precision than the few I had noted in November. The new radiant in Sextans, I now deduce at R. A. 148°, Decl. 2° N., and that at τ Leonis, as near Crater R. A. 165°, Decl. 6° S. The meteors from these new showers are very rapid and white, usually leaving bright streaks for 2 or 3 secs, in their path.
