Abstract
LAST evening (April 3) I saw a fine meteor at 8h. 21m. G.M.T. (± 1m.). I was walking along the street at the time and looking at Algol, and so only caught sight of it during the last few moments of its apparition. Its path as observed was from α 80° North δ 2° to α 76° South δ 4°, when it disappeared behind houses. It seemed quite twice the brightness of Jupiter, and about 3′ diameter; colour, chrome yellow; duration, three seconds. It left no visible train.
