Abstract
METEORS FROM HALLEY'S COMET.—Like the Perseids and Leonids, the meteors connected with Halley's famous comet probably constitute a complete ring. They were first discovered by Lieut.—Col. Tupman while cruising in the Mediterranean in 1870, when the parent comet was near aphelion, and Prof. Alexander Herschel pointed out the significant resemblance between the cometary and meteoric orbits.
