Abstract
THE moon being new on July 21 this year renders the conditions favourable for observing the earlier members of the great Perseid display. A few of these are usually visible on July 15, and probably just before that night, and it would be interesting if multiple observations of supposed Perseids could be obtained so that their radiants might be definitely assigned without the risk of error.
