Abstract
WITH your permission I should like to call attention to the possibility of a return of the Andromedes meteors on or about November 23. A consideration of the period of the shower, as deduced from all its known returns, had some time back led me to the conclusion that this year was more likely to be favoured with it than last. The fact that it was not seen last year is, as far as it goes, in support of my contention. But, of course, the stream may take less than a year to pass the point of the intersection of the orbits, in which case the earth may very possibly not pass through it at this return of the meteors.
