The radiants @,,, in the southern list correspond very nearly in time and 
place with the radiants WG, QG of the northern hemisphere ; and the new 
group of southern radiants, 3,,,, ,, closely adjoins the group T,,,,,,, 
and 
the radiant U of the older list, making it to appear probable that these 
radiant-points are common to both hemispheres of the globe.
