Abstract
THE display of Orionids has been recently observed at this station with greater success than has attended my efforts in any previous year. This shower has not, perhaps, exhibited such richness as it did in 1877, but the present occasion has been more favourable as regards the conditions; the moon being absent from the morning sky, and a period of tolerably clear weather occurring just at the important time.
