Scientific paper

Published observational data on the Monocerotid meteor shower (MMS, December 8-17) are compiled in tables and graphs and analyzed. As a first step, observations of members of the Xi Orionid stream falsely attributed to the MMS are removed from the data set and briefly characterized. Then mean values of the MMS orbital parameters are determined on the basis of 12 two-station photographic observations obtained during 1950-1977: radiant motion with alpha = 102 deg and delta = 8 deg, mean geocentric velocity 41.9 km/sec, and mean period 108 yr. These MMS orbital parameters are shown to be in good agreement with those of Comet P/Mellish (1917 I).
