Abstract
PRECISELY at 6 P.M., on the 19th inst., I saw a splendid meteor traverse the sky from a point about midway between Orion's belt and the Pleiades to a point directly under the moon, and about 10° above the horizon. It was pure white and dazzling, lasted about five seconds, emitted no sparks, except at the moment of disappearance, and was about half the size of the moon at the time.
