Observations on the meteor shower last Saturday evening and Sunday morning were made at the Harvard Observatory and at Blue Hill. The weather was not particularly favorable, although it was clear after midnight.
Photographic telescopes of different sizes were used, the aperture of the largest being eleven inches. Most of the plates, which were taken, have been developed, but they show only one prominent meteor of the first magnitude. In all, forty or fifty meteors were counted, which were small, with few exceptions. Bright meteors were scarce, and their trails short for the most part. The immediate results of the observations were not specially prominent, but as this was the first organized work of the kind in recent years, as much was accomplished as could have been expected.
The men who assisted in the observation are as follows:
At Blue Hill-H. F. Wendwell, Geo. L. Richards, T P. Foley, C. R. Taylor, E. W. Remick, R. B. Stone.
At Cambridge Observatory-E. B. Wilson, W. H. Roever, F. P. Wescott, D. C. Williams, Morison.
