Shooting stars of Nov. 14th, 1867. 85 
8. At Hartford, Conn—Mrs. J. H. Trumbull and Miss 
Trumbull from two (closed) windows, one looking east with a 
range of 130°, and the other almost exactly covering the N. W 
quadrant, began to count a few minutes after four o’clock, and 
completed their tale of 500 a few minutes after five, the count 
occupying very nearly one hour. Of course looking through 
glass the smaller ones were many of them lost. 7” 
bull at one time saw five in motion at one instant. 
9. At Chicago, Ill—Prof. T. H. Safford reports the follow- 
ing number of meteors seen at Chicago on the morning of the 
shower. There were from 8 to 30 observers. 
From 12" 0™ to 2" 20™ 128 meteors were seen.

One observer looking to the zenith, counted 420 between 
3° 30" and 5" 45" a.m. These are reported as not included 
in the preceding count. Prof. Safford noticed that, as nearly 
as he could estimate, from one-fifth to one-sixth of the stars 
visible to the naked eye on a moonless night could be seen on 
that morning. 
10. At Evanston, Iil—Mr. Francis Bradley and Mr. Henry 
Bannister began their watch upon the roof of Heck Hall, 
about half past twelve a.m., of the 14th, Mr. Bradley looking 
toward the N. E. and E., and Mr. Bannister toward the N. 
and N. E. They counted as follows :

The attention was almost exclusively given to counting, 
and the numbers are therefore the more valuable. The uncon- 
rmable ones were very few, not much more than a dozen in 
all. Two left trains that lasted for three or four minutes. 
The prevailing tint in all was blue. Many were brick-reddish, a 
while a few were of the latter color on the outside of the train, © 
and bluish in the middle, Mr. Bradley gives the center of the — 
radiant, R. A. 9° 51", Dec. +23. He was looking at the ra- —
