Nebula in the Pleiades.-Mr. H. W. Hollis has looked for this nebula with his 8-in. achromatic, but cannot find it. He says, "There is something peculiar about all the brighter stars of this group, which, for months past, have appeared to me as if surrounded with nebulous lights. Can the nebula have been distributed amongst them? "

Meteors.-The Rev. S. J. Johnson, of Crediton, witnessed the appearance of "a splendid meteor at 7h. 37m., April 6. Its course was in a straight line downwards from about 15° above the N.W. horizon, to about 5. Colour white with a greenish tinge. Duration about 5 seconds. Seen against a dark sky, this meteor would have equalled, if not exceeded, the brightness of Venus or Jupiter. I was looking for Mercury at the time." On April 19, 11h. 10m., Mr. William F. Denning, of Bristol, saw a brilliant meteor. It passed slowly down the N.N.E. sky. It was starlike in appearance and left no train of light.

Mercury. The Rev. S. J. Johnson observed Mercury both with the naked eye and telescope, on the evenings of March 25 and April 5. A power of 100 on a small telescope brought out the phase.
