4.00 REPORT—1868. 
—as indicating very probably a physical connexion between this comet and 
the current of the April meteors. 
Two recently discovered periodical comets being thus pretty certainly 
shown to be connected with the material currents which give rise to the 
August and November meteors, and two others being very probably identified 
with the meteor-currents of April and December, the community of origin 
(frequently believed by writers of late years to exist) between shooting-stars 
and comets appears to be conclusively established. 
To assist the observation of luminous meteors, a first catalogue of shooting- 
stars observed in Italy during the years 1866-67 was published at Milan in 
July of last year, by M. Schiaparelli. The principal object being to ascer- 
tain the positions of their radiant-points, certain nights of the year were 
named beforehand by M. Schiaparelli for simultaneous observations, in order 
to multiply, as far as possible, the number of separate meteors recorded by 
observers cooperating to register their tracks at distant stations on a single 
night. The first portion of the catalogue consists, almost entirely, of 572 
observations of meteors, made by M. G. Zezioli, assistant director of the 
telegraph-office ,at Bergamo, between the 26th of April and the 10th of 
July, 1867.
