Nov. 15. Sky very clear. Prof, H. A. Newton watclingoal fore, 
during 45 minutes from 35 40™ to 4 25™, observed fifteen shooting stars, 
having the same general characteristics as those of the morning previous, 
_  (3.) New York City—November 14, Prof. A.C. Twining watched for 
shooting stars during one hour, from 3 A.M. to 4 a.m. His position was — 
at an open area commanding a good view of the S. E. quarter of the sky. — 
The atmosphere was uncommonly clear, but the glare of the street lamps 
doubtless interfered with the visibility of very faint meteors. During the — 
first fifteen minutes by estimate, he observed ten meteors, eight of whieh 
had paths conformable to the radiant i of 1833, and two of Macs had 
paths not conformable. For the next half hour not a meteor was seen 
At 35 45™ the largest of all spies: with a long, corihirins tb and bril 
liant path. After this till 4° three non-conformable were seen, two of 
which shot from near the zenith. The observed number during the hour, 
was therefore 14, nine conformable and wh unconformable. In conclt- —
