• W4240882006 abstract "REPORTS.Report of the Committee on Luminous Meteors, by Mr. James Glaisher.-The report related, as usual, to meteors doubly observed, and to aerolites, the portion having reference to the latter being the more interesting, as the falls of aërolites which have been placed on record since the last report were more than ordinarily numerous and interesting. A mass of meteoric iron fell on Aug. 24, 1873, at Maysville, California, and is one of the very few metallic irons the actual descent of which has been witnessed. In the following month a number of meteorites fell near Khairpur, in the Punjaub; and it is also related that in the month of December, when the British army halted on the banks of the Prah, an aërolite fell in the market-place of Coomassie, and was regarded by the native population as a portent of evil. On the 14th and 20th of May, 1874, aërolites fell at Castalia, in North Carolina. The last stone-fall of the past year took place near Iowa city on the 12th of February, 1875, and of this meteorite also special analyses were made in the United States, of which some unforeseen results were lately announced by their author, Mr. A. W. Wright. In England no detonating meteor has been observed this year; and the brightest meteor recorded since the last report occurred on the 1st of September last, taking its course over the north of England, or Scotland, where clouded skies must have prevailed, as its flash was like that of lightning. Other bright meteors occurred on the 2nd and 16th of September, 11th of October, 17th of December, 9th of March, 12th of April, and 2nd and 4th of May in this year. A meteor burst with a loud detonation over Paris and its neighbourhood on the 10th of February; it was of great size and brilliancy, and left a cloud-like streak of light on its track for more than half an hour. No duplicate observation of it was obtained in England. Another fireball fell at Orleans on the 9th of March, and of this two good observations appeared to have been obtained in England, which may assist to determine its real height. During the annual meteor showers of the past year very unfavourable weather generally prevailed for recording meteor tracks, and few meteors were seen on those nights when the usual expectations of their appearance were entertained. A thorough examination of all the observations collected by the committee since the publication of the Meteor Atlas in 1867, with the view of extending and correcting the list of general and occasional meteoric showers which it embraced, has been continued with satisfactory results I under the direction of Mr. Greg. The report also contained a résumé of the contents of the recent publications on the subject of meteoric astronomy. Mr. Glaisher remarked that the report was the result of considerable labour performed by Prof. A. S. Herschel, but he pointed out that the work of properly treating meteor observations had now become so great as to be beyond the power of the Association to grapple with, and alluded with satisfaction to the arrangements being carried out by M. Leverrier. A discussion took place on the connection of comets and meteors, in the course of which Sir William Thomson said that there was nothing to justify the assertion that the mass of comets was so small as was sometimes supposed, and he considered there was good evidence for believing that the comet's tail was really a train of meteors." @default.
