Abstract
IT being important to ascertain the duration of the recent shower of Andromedes, observations were continued here on the night of November 30. During a watch maintained for about four hours and a half between 5h. 30m. and 10h. 15m., ten Andromedes of most certain character, together with two other meteors, in reference to which some doubt existed as to their absolute identity with this stream, were recorded from a radiant-point carefully determined at 21° + 42½°. Thirty-one non-conformable shooting-stars were also seen from showers in Perseus and the region eastward.
