Explains JH's objections to JL's shadow-extinction hypothesis of meteors. Believes that several sorts of meteors—magnetoelectric, stony, vaporous, etc.—exist.
Has had no reply from H. P. F. P. Clinton (5th Duke of Newcastle); will write to H. J. Temple (3rd Viscount Palmerston) later if no answer is received.
