remarkable for their brilliancy and for the bril-
liant train, which usually vanished in q few
seconds, but in one or two cases lasted several
minutes. The most brilliant and thicIest dis
play came from the direction of Leo, which is
about 60 degrees above the horizon, and some
from Canois Minor and from Gonna Bernice.
The course of the meteors was principally
north and east, though there were scattering
