Abstract
IN Spring months meteoric observers can hardly expect very productive results. The weather is often fine and pleasant, it is true, but meteors are usually scarce, and an average hight will not present more than about four or five per hour. In 1886, during the month of May, I counted 127 meteors in twenty-five of observation. In 1903, May, I saw seventy-two meteors in 18¼ hours, and, if allowance is maae for time engaged in recording paths, the deduced horary number was about five.
