Abstract
THE AUGUST METEORS.—Mr. Denning writes:—“There is every indication that the Perseid display of 1916 will be of rather unusual activity. The shower was quite rich on July 31, August 1 and 5, and evidently increasing. Some fine meteors were observed, and especially on July 26, 10h. 7m., August 2, 11h. 41m., August 3,9h. 44m., and August 5, 9h. 44mm. That on the latter date was a fireball, and it formed a brilliant spectacle as seen from Bristol, falling from Cygnus to Ophiuchus.
