Abstract
PERMIT me to point out to Mr. J. M. Hayward (NATURE, Nov. 8, p. 30) that his observation of the large meteor of November 4 possesses no scientific value, inasmuch as he has omitted to mention the important features of its appearance. The time is given as “just now” (or November 4), and the broad path of fire which this fine meteor discharged upon its course must have been situated somewhere in the south-east, for your correspondent states he saw it “on turning to the south-east.”
