* A correction being applied for refraction. Since the meteor was within the limits of the earth's atmosphere, 

 the effect of refraction must be less than if its light proceeded from a star, or other body, beyond those limits. It 

 is here assumed to be two-thirds as great ; and throughout this table it is applied in all cases where the observed 

 altitude does not exceed 10°. 



f See the notes on p. 48, which are numbered so as to correspond with the serial numbers of this table.
