the sickle, but none of them absolutely stationary like some 
seen last year, 
e numbers seen at Evanston correspond very well with 
those seen at New Haven, The latter part of the Toronto 
curve in the diagram on p, 81 represents, however, the varia- 
tion in the numbers toward the end of the shower better than 
the porreepOn ng portion of the New Haven curve. 
11. At Ann Arbor, Mich.—Prof. Watson was prevented by 
the high wind: which was blowing almost a gale, from making 
complete observations. The number of meteors counted was 
as follows : 
From 3° 45" to 3" 55™, 230 met’rs. | From 4" 15™ to 4" 25™, 230 met’s..

At times the flight of meteors was so incessant that only a 
portion could be counted. Prof. Watson noticed particularly 
that in the vicinity of the radiant point the light of the mete- 
ors was of a sea-green tint, with occasionally strong tints of 
the blue. The position of the radiant point he found at half 
past four to be R. A. 150° 45’, Dec. + 21° 55’ 
12. At Bloomington, Indiana.—Prof. T. A. Wylie, assisted 
by eengrons of the Indiana State University, watched from 
od ha.m. After midnight beni. a ae under the 
soni ed could be seen in any part of the heavens. 
It remained nearly uniformly hazy with some slight alter- 
ations until morning. From 9 to 12 but one meteor was 
seen; from 1"to 2%, 18; from 2* to 3", 43; from 3* to 4, 
—276 ; from 4° to BR, 184. The whole number of meteors 
counted was 535. Taking into account the state of the air and 
the light of the moon, they were sure that the tenth, and 
believe that the fifteenth part were not seen. The gr eatest 
number seen in a given time was from 3" 35™ to 3" 363", aver- 
aging 142 per minute. 
From =‘ 3" 37" to 3° 39™ they saw 3 per minute.
