The Observatory has abandoned its attempts to photograph the expected shower of leonids this year in consequence of the unusual rarity of meteors which have been sighted. On Friday night a watch was kept for the shower but only a few desultory meteors fell before a fog arose and precluded further observations. A casual watch was again kept on Saturday night, but not a single meteor was observed. As the extraordinary showers which were predicted to occur about the year 1899 have not materialized, it is probable that the Observatory will make no further attempt to obtain photographs of leonids for some years.
