Resumo

The results of observations of the Perseid meteor shower during 1962 August are presented, and an attempt has been made to interpret the observed activity in terms of a radiant model comprising an intense discrete centre of activity, and a more diffuse component. The distribution in radio-magnitude in the range +8.4 to +6.8 m of the shower meteors has been studied as a function of solar longitude, and significant systematic variations, especially for the discrete component are indicated.
