This Working List which starts on the next page has been compiled from the following sources:

  1. (1) A selection by myself (Cook, 1973) from a list by Lindblad (1971a), which he found from a computer search among 2401 orbits of meteors photographed by the Harvard Super-Schmidt cameras in New Mexico (McCrosky and Posen, 1961)

  2. (2) Five additional radiants found by McCrosky and Posen (1959) by a visual search among the radiants and velocities of the same 2401 meteors

  3. (3) A further visual search among these radiants and velocities by Cook, Lindblad, Marsden, McCrosky, and Posen (1973)

  4. (4) A computer search by Lindblad (1971b) among 1827 precisely reduced photographed meteors from all available sources

  5. (5) Visual radiants reported by Hoffmeister (1948)

  6. (6) A report on the Phoenicid shower of December 5, 1956, by Ridley (1962)

  7. (7) A list of visual radiants by Mcintosh (1935)

  8. (8) A report on the June Lyrids by Hindley (1969)

  9. (9) Two papers on radar radiants in the southern sky by Weiss (1960a, b)

  10. (10) A paper on radar radiants in the southern hemisphere by Nilsson (1964)

  11. (11) Several compilations of visual, photographic, and radar radiants by Whipple and Hawkins (1959), McKinley (1961), Millman and McKinley (1963), and Jaechia (1963)
