   Looking for possible published radiants near Xi Persei near the Perseid
maximum I found one. In a list of Meteor Showers compiled by Dirk Artoos,
of Belgium, dated October 10, 1989, a radiant listed as 1925 XI with a max-
imum on August 12th is listed. The position is given as: RA 061 DEC +40,
which is very close to the drift position of the supposed Xi Perseid radiant
seen August 10/11, 1996. So, it appears that this radiant has been seen be-
fore.
