Abstract
THE cloudless sky from the morning of the 12th to the 15th, with the total absence of moonlight, afforded a most favourable opportunity for the observation of the meteors of the Lion. A constant watch was kept up at this observatory from 10 P.M. until daybreak of the 13th, 14th, and 15th, and the results show that the Leonids were considerably in excess of what they had been during the last few years.
