Abstract
THE meteoric season of July has again returned, bring-ing with it all the interesting associations attached to this period in previous years. Early Perseids will now be occasionally seen with their rapid flights, and leaving streaks upon their paths, but they will be directed from the southern region of Cassiopeia instead of from the place 45°+ 57°, as at the maximum epoch on August 11–12. Many long-pathed and slow-moving Aquarids will also be noticed from the point about 339°-10°, and this display generally develops its richest features near the end of July, on about the 28th to 30th.
