Abstract
WHEN a boy, at the latter end of the ’thirties of last century, I was told by a well-known man of the name of West—lock-keeper on the river Witham at Lincoln—that he had seen a star fall on the south common there, where he had a cow grazing, and that, on going up to it, he found nothing but a lump of jelly. At this distance of time I cannot recall all he said, but I remember he described the object as shining and as about the size of a plate. I have no recollection of his calling it luminous.
