It's not a table but a *formula* - for which you need detailed
knowledge of the circumstances of your observing conditions,
otherwise the raw meteor counts are pretty useless anyway.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenithal_Hourly_Rate has a primer
(linking to a NAMN page that doesn't respond, despite being
right behind the English and German Wikipedia articles in
Google's ranking for "zenithal hourly rate" - oops?).

P.S.: Why did my MeteorObs deliver switch from Digest to
individual mails mode today without me doing anything?
