Abstract

A PBOBABLE METEOBIC DISPLAY.—Mr. Issei Yamamoto, of the Tokyo Observatory, has pointed out in the Mon. Not. R.A.S. that the orbit of Skjellerup's bright comet, seen last December, lies near the earth's orbit on about June 7 next, and that as the distance separating the orbits is only three millions of miles, there may probably ensue a meteoric shower. The radiant point has been computed as at 42°.3 + 41°.4. Dr. Crommelin has also calculated the place of radiation and gives the point a few degrees west of that given by Yamamoto.
