Meteors of November, 1868. 125 
12. At Marathon, N. Y.—Mr. Lewis Swift, after half past 
one o’clock, counted 896 meteors, all but five from Leo. At 
a little after three o’clock a train in Cancer was visible for sev- 
eral minutes which floated to the north. 
13. At Bloomington, Ind.—Prof. T. A. Wylie reports obser- 
vations by some of the students of the Ind. State University. 
He had made no arrangements himself for observing as he had 
watched during the whole of the preceding night, judging, 
with good reason, that there was more probability of a dis- 
play on the morning of the 13th. 
The whole number observed by the students was 2,500. 
The numbers increased gradually from 11 o’clock to 3 o’clock, 
when it reached 20 per minute, at which rate it continued un- 
til a quarter before four. The sky then became hazy, and by 
4° 40" quite cloudy. At four minutes past five they began 
regular counting with these results.
