Abstract
THE METEORIC PHENOMENA OF SEPTEMBER 6.—Mr. W. F. Denning writes that a large number of observations have been received of apparently two large fireballs which illuminated the sky in many parts of England on the evening of September 6 at about 20h 30m and exactly at 20h 45m G.M.T. respectively. The data collected have not yet been thoroughly discussed arid will necessarily take some time. The first meteor appears to have travelled from a southern radiant northwards and was observed at 'places so distant as Wanstead, near London, Durham, the south-west of England, and Sunderland. It gave a considerable light and some persons mistook it for lightning, but its motion to north dispelled the idea.
