Abstract
THE meteor referred to in NATURE of April 23 (p. 581), was seen by me in Glasgow, low down on the S.E. horizon, at 8.5 p.m. The position of its visible path was carefully noted at the time in relation to a church spire, which it just seemed to touch. On April 27, at 10.30 p.m. the centre of the full moon was 2° above this point, its declination was therefore 22° 13′ S., and its R.A. on April 12 at 8.5 p.m. was 10h. 39m. On account of some intervening shrubs the meteor's path was only visible over a distance of 10°, but the declination seemed to remain unchanged.
