412 Meteors of November, 1868. 
or four degrees in the apparent length, would reduce the first 
altitude below 100 miles. ; 
Meteor of 5% 6™ 45s, New Haven time.—This meteor passed 
one degree south of ? Geminorum as seen by me at New Haven. 
The central part of the train floated north, and the upper 
part south, The amount of the northward motion was three 
degrees in three minutes. At first the lower or western end 
little to the east of north 
minu 
The altitude of the beginning, and end of the visible path 
of the meteor is, from these observations, 85 and 60 miles, re- 
respectively. The motions of the train seem to indicate an 
upper current from the north, above that from the south, 
which was shown by the motions of the train of the meteor 
at 1* 12™. 
Meteor of 5" 30™ 30°, Boston time.—Mr. Tuttle saw a very 
bright meteor at this instant which passed above Cor. Caroli, 
downward to a point below 7 Ursw Majoris, leaving a train 
oris. 
From the position of this track and the description, I feel 
sure that it is the same as the one described by a writer in 
Fairhaven, Mass., in an article signed D. (Mr: Jabez Delano), 
in the New Bedford Standard as follows.
