Abstract
SEPTEMBER METEORS.-Mr. Denning writes that a fair number of meteors, including several brilliant fireballs, were observed in September. There was a well-defined shower, not far from the Pole, at 314° +79° at the middle of the month, and at the period from September 19-24 the chief radiant points were at 4° + 27°, 59° + 3S°, 271° + 22°, 2900 + S2°, 343° + 140, and 352° + 2°. A very brilliant meteor was observed on September 21 at 10h. 3m., from the radiant in Cygnus. As seen from Bristol it was brighter than Venus, and fell from a height of 67 to 28 miles. On September 23, at 7h. 42m., a fireball illuminated the sky as seen from Clevedon, and it had a long, slow, and nearly horizontal flight from a radiant at 3220 -230 in Capri-cornus. Its path was about 166 miles from over the English Channel to Welshpool, and it descended from 64 to 32 miles. Though it had a very extended path, only two observations of it were received, viz. from Clevedon (Somerset) and Fowey (Cornwall), but the sky was cloudy at many places.
