Abstract
VERY unfavourable weather was experienced all over o the country at the middle of November, and the return of the Leonid meteors was very scantily observed. At many stations no observations whatever were possible between November 13 and 16, while at other places only one of these nights was partially clear. As a result of the bad atmospheric conditions, very few meteors have been recorded. But it seems certain, from a comparison of the fragmentary observations obtained at various places, that, apart from the unfavourable influence of the weather, the meteoric shower did not nearly answer expectation.
