Meteors of December 11^th 

M. Perrotin at the observatory of Toulouse, observed a considerable number of meteors on the night of December 11^th, 106 were counted. The majority of which radiated from a point near Pollux and Castor in Gemini. The trajectories were very short, so that it was difficult to refer them to a chart. The sky was overcast the following night.
