J. H. Worrall, Ph.D., at Newark, Delaware, recorded about 25 paths. 
Mr. Marsh, at Philadelphia, and Mr. F, Bradley, at Chicago, also made 
similar observations. 
The numbers of shooting stars seen on this night were much larger 
than on the previous night. We think they were a little larger than on 
previous years 
Mr. B. V. Marsh a ee near pit aerate 130 flights between 
104 p.m. and 14 60™ a.m. He counted as conformable all which radi- 
ated from tata or S esiiedae 
From 104 0m to 10h 15m, in 15 minutes he saw 2 conformable, 1 unconformable.

There spent in locating tracks, making notes, &c., probably one- 
fifth of the 1 time, say 41 minutes. This reduces the time actually en- 
gaged in watching for meteors to 163 minutes, making the hourly num- 
ber for one observer about 48,

Many of these were seen by two or more persons. It was estimated that 
the average number seen by each one during the half hour was about 49. 
The moon, the clouds near the horizon, and the twilight somewhat 
diminished the number. It was estimated that there was no increase of 
poeeer ore ie two hours preceding. About a dozen were uncon-
