Abstract
AT 7h. 6m.±p.m. G.M.T., on October 10, a brilliant meteor was observed here, about 10° south-west of Pegasi, and travelling from thence to near Jupiter, being apparently three times the size and brilliancy of that planet. Its colour was of a bluish-white, and it possessed a fine train, disappearing after six. seconds, having burst into a number of pieces.
