Abstract
FIREBALLS.—Mr. W. F. Denning writes that a very brilliant fireball was observed from many places in Cornwall and Devonshire on Sunday, November 2, at about 10.55 P.M. A loud detonation was heard by various persons at about the same time, and the inference is that the noise was connected with the meteor. Observations are coming to hand which will enable a suitable investigation to be made and the real path of the meteor to be determined. It lit up the countryside with dazzling effect, and must have been one of the finest objects of its class.
