Abstract

It has become established from radar surveys at Christchurch, New Zealand, in 1953, 1956, and 1960 that very strong meteor shower activity occurs annually in December, with radiants in both the Vela and the Puppis constellations. The Velid group has a mean right ascension of about 134°, and the Puppid group is rather widely spread around llO°. The declination of both showers is about _45°.
