Abstract
ON referring to my record of meteors for the 8th inst, I find two meteors nearly at the times mentioned by Prof. Tait (vol. x- p. 305), viz., 10.33 and 10.53. That at 10.33 was, from its position as seen here, unquestionably not identical with the one he saw. That at 10.53 may possibly be the same, if by Monoccros Prof. Tait means the constellation commonly marked at Equuleus. If such is the case, a calculation rough as the data necessitates, would give for the meteor's height at the beginning 144 miles; at the end, 87 miles.
