Abstract
THE GREAT PERSEID METEOR SHOWER.—Mr. W. F. Denning writes: “The maximum of the Perseids occurred in 1921 on the morning of August 12, and the earth may be expected to be in the same position of its orbit in the early afternoon of August 12 next. There may therefore be no very rich shower, though one may possibly recur in Japan and in the East.
