IT is to be hoped that further observations will be forthcoming of the brilliant meteor of January 24, 10h. 55m. (described by Mr. T. Heath in your last number, p. 295), so that its real path may be computed. I think there is little doubt the meteor belonged to a shower of Draconids having a radiantpoint a few degrees south-east of the star ζ. On the same night (January 24) as that on which the fine meteor was observed, I saw a third magnitude shooting-star, at 7h. 55m., with a path from 324° + 40° to 330½° + 31¾°, and this also belonged to the radiant in Draco. I discovered this shower on the nights of January 19 and 25, 1887, and determined the position of the radiant as at 261° + 63°. There are many other showers from the same point in the spring, summer, and autumn months.
