about 6° or 8° N. of the 
Pleiades through the zenith, 
to about 30° or 35° above 
the horizon, about N.N.W., 
when it disappeared; in about 
4 seconds a bright rose-co- 
loured aurora had appeared 
during the evening, and at 
this time assumed the ap- 
pearance of beams converging’ 
towards the zenith. The 
course of the meteor was ex- 
actly along one of these beams.
