Abstract
IN 1882 the Lyrid meteor shower (epoch, April 19–20) was noticed to be far more conspicuous than usual. The display had been quiescent for some years; it appeared to have degenerated into a third rate shower, scarcely deserving the trouble of observation. But in the year mentioned the stream gave distinct intimation of greater intensity, and showed the necessity of continuing annual observations of periodical showers such as this, even though they may exhibit, during a comparatively long interval, but a very feeble sustenance of the richness recorded in former times.
