Abstract
A FINE display of shooting stars was observed here on Wednesday, 27th inst. I first noticed them at 7.20 P.M., Greenwich time, and watched them till about 8, when the sky became obscured. They were occasionally seen again till 9.30. When first observed they appeared to radiate from the zenith, and to be more numerous towards the north-west and south-west; many passed over the constellation Cygnus.
