REPORT — 1875. 



after its neighbourhood to Heis's radiaut-point E in October in the constel- 

 lation Lacerta (German Eidechse), which was found by Mr. Greg to be a very- 

 persistent and much earlier occurring shower. Although its position was 

 afterwards confirmed (as will be seen in the subjoined Table) and extended 

 to include radiants with more northern declinations in Schiaparelli's and 

 Tupman's lists, yet it appears that the new radiant-point observed by Mr. 

 Hind allies itself more closely to an earlier group, close to the same place, 

 well marked in Schiaparelli's list, and together with some closely adjoining 

 radiant-points forming the only representatives in that list of the well-known 

 meteor-shower of the " Pegasids," diverging about the time of the 10th of 

 August star-shower of the Perseids from near the star a Pegasi. The con- 

 firmation which this observation affords of the early occurrences in July and 

 August of " Lacertid " meteor-showers noted in Schiaparelli's list, which were 

 unattested hitherto by other observers, is at the same time a corroboration of 

 special interest from the very sharply-defined and well-recorded date and 

 ■ position of the radiation.
