Mar. 20, 1868. From a = 130° 

 5= +46° to a = 162° 5= -1-60°; 

 evidently identical with the next. 



Extended; unexact 



Mar. 31, 1868 1 Endures three days. 



April 2, 1868 I Perhaps connected 

 and 1 8 69... J as a twin-radiant 

 ■with the next. 



Apr. 2, 1868 1 Distinct from but 

 and 1S69 I may belong to the 



Apr. 3, 1868 I same family as Greg's 



Apr. 9, 1869 J QHj with centre near 

 TT Herculis. 



Apr. 9, 1869. Twin -radiant with 

 the last. 



Apr. 10, 1869. Traces on Apr. 9 

 ?If connected with XXI b ; no in- 

 termediate meteors. 



Apr. II, 1869; no traces on adja- 

 cent nights : belongs to tlie same 

 family as the two next. 



Well - determined 

 and exact. 



Apparently belonging to the same 



family as XX c and XXI b. 

 Apr. 14, 1868 and 1869. Connect 



ed by no meteors with XX c, 



among many observed on inter 



mediate nights. 

 Apr. 25, 1868. Appears to have no 



connection with any other me 



teoric shower. 

 Apr. 30, 1867 1 Apparently con 



and 1868... I nected or identical 

 May I, 1868 J with the two next. 



Well-defined 



June 13, 1869. On this and pre- 

 vious evening some meteors from 

 direction of Vega (ZezioH). 



June 14, 1869. Perhaps identical 

 or of the same system with the 

 next.

many of the foregoing radiant-points, although separated from each other in position, or 



•ghts in -which no intermediate meteors were observed, nevertheless possess in common 



features of very close resemblance, they are regarded by Professor SchiapareUi
