Msteors from k Draconis in May

Abstract

ON May 31, 10h. 40m., I saw amid the gathering clouds nearly overhead a very short third-magnitude meteor close to its radiant at 193° + 74°. I had never previously remarked any indication of this shower at the end of May or in June, though it seems continued in an intermittent manner from July to December, and on January 19, 1887, I recorded four meteors from 191° + 72°. There is another winter shower near, viz., at 194° + 67°, from which I saw seventeen meteors on December 18–28, 1886.
