Abstract
THE most noteworthy of the January meteor showers is that of the Quadrantids. Owing to the great northerly declination of the radiant, these meteors can be observed at any hour of the night, and being long-pathed they may, if fairly numerous, present quite a striking display. In 1911 the maximum will fall on the night of January 3, computed particulars of which and of other subsequent meteor showers are here summarised.
