Abstract
ON Wednesday, January 7, at about 6.35 p.m., I was fortunate enough to see a brilliant meteor descending a little north of Castor. My attention was drawn to it by the brilliant light it threw over the country. The head was a ball of dazzling white and the tail yellow, with red streaks. It disappeared before reaching the earth, and I heard no report or rushing sound whatever.
