Abstract
THE ensuing display of these meteors occurs in the absence of moonlight. If the maximum continues to be at about the same position of the earth's orbit as formerly it will be in the early evening of January 3, which would be a convenient time for observation, although the radiant point is comparatively low then, the morning displays being the best.
