Abstract
THE GREAT FIREBALL OF NOVEMBER II.—Mr. W. F. Denning writes that the fireball of November 11, 5 h. 40 m. G.M.T., was observed by a great number of persons in Ireland and extreme north of England. Sixty-nine accounts of it have been received, and though the observers were taken by surprise and most of them inexperienced in recording meteors, their results are in very fair agreement. At most of the stations the moon, which was nearly full, was near the beginning point of the meteor and furnished a useful guide to position.
