Abstract
YESTERDAY evening, Sunday, April 22, a very fine meteor was seen to traverse the sky, from near the zenith to near the horizon, in an easterly or south-easterly direction. It is reported to me as having appeared about 7.25 p.m., when twilight was strong, and before any stars had come out. It threw off sparks like a rocket, and was followed by a bright train. No noise was heard after the explosion.
