# METEORS

The Hydrographic Office is cooperating with astronomers who are studying meteors. Meteors reporting their observations of these bodies are greatly assisting in a network. It is desired to have the Greenwich time and point of appearance and disappearance as accurate as possible, either by bearing and altitude, or by relation to fixed stars, or both.
