Abstract
THE shower of November Andromedids which occurred in 1885 exhibited a very large area of radiation, the flights being directed from a region variously estimated from 7° to 15° diameter. The Draconids of August, with a radiant near o Draconis and centre at about 290° + 60°, appears to exhibit a similar feature, for the rich shower this system presented in 1879 had a very ill-defined radiant. An active shower of Taurids seen on November 2, 1886, also formed a very dispersed or scattered radiant.
