in the same azimuth as New Haven. In the third column of 
the table below, is given the reported inclination, and in the 
fourth, the angle at which the path above assigned to the meteor 
would be seen to be inclined to the vertical circle at the horizon.

third I feel disposed to leave out of consideration. Perhaps the 
fourth should be likewise discarded. The numbers in the four 
column, refer to the horizon, the third in general to points above

are pretty nearly the same in excess as in deficiency. The i. 
ra angle of inclination therefore cannot be far from t 
th, 
The inclination of the meteor’s path as actually seen at Alex: 
andria, must have been nearly the same as that resulting hg 
e mean of the observations reported by Mr. Hallowell. 5 
persoms at Washington, two of whom say it descended vertically.
