256 A, C. Twining on Meteoric Rings as 
cessarily resulting changes of presentation on one side of the 
earth and on the other, the effects which had accumulated for a 
time upon certain meteors would afterwards experience a grad- 
ual and successive compensation. In the absence therefore of 
superinduced disturbances it would appear that the ultimate con- 
stitution of the ring must be one in which accumulation and 
condition to the te 
ception and accumulation of either class of effects which have 
entered into this discussion. . It imposes no restriction Up? 
our deductions. The one supposed line of mutual intersect 
would become progressively disposed into innumerable here

in certain limits every variety and degree of orbital ra
