• on the night of December 7th, 1830, recorded by 

 me Abb6 Eaillard (' Comptes Eendus,' vol. viii. Jan.-June, 1839, p. 177), is wrongly de- 

 scribed as a hoUde (?) on the \2th of December of that year in a former volume of these 

 Eeports (for 1873, p. 396) ; but there can be no doubt that the shower was a regular re- 

 turn of the ' Andromedes ' connected with the periodical returns of Biela's comet.
