Abstract
THE LEONID METEORIC SHOWER.—Mr. Denning writes that on November 15 and 16 the Leonids returned in moderate numbers. Mr. C. P. Adamson, observing at Wimborne, Dorset, watched the sky during a period of ten hours, and saw thirty-three Leonids out of a total of ninety-eight meteors recorded. The radiant point was placed at 150°+22°, and the display furnished objects of the usual swift and streak-leaving character.
