Abstract
JUST before five in the afternoon of Wednesday, the 13th inst., a meteor of rare brilliancy, evidently one of the Leonids, was seen here. It was as large as Venus at its best. When flashing into view it lighted up the landscape with startling effect, though daylight had not faded. The meteor was followed by a dazzling golden-coloured train, which lasted for several seconds. The colour of the meteor by the waning daylight was of a peculiar greenish-blue tint.
