Abstract
THE moon being full on the evening of April 22 this year there is little prospect that the shower of Lyrids will assume prominence as a visible spectacle. It should, however, be carefully looked for on the night following April 21, for, notwithstanding the bright moonlight, it is probable that a few fine Lyrids may be observed if the weather is clear. The maximum formerly occurred on April 20, but 1900 not having been a leap year, the epoch of the shower has advanced one day, and must be looked for on April 21.
