The paper consists of three sections:

  1. (1) In continuation of a previous paper by the author, on 154 minor meteor streams, elements of orbits and other data are presented for an additional 95 minor streams (most of them less active). These streams have been found both by the studies of the photographic orbits of meteor bodies known before, and from the visual radiants of faint showers.

  2. (2) The problems of a possible family of six minor meteor streams associated with the Lexell comet 1770-I, and the connection between nine other minor streams and long-period comets, are examined. The assumption is made that nearly-parabolic comets may be accompanied by meteor streams of considerable width.

  3. (3) Radiants and elements of the orbits for 30 meteor bodies of the Cyclids are described, as were established by photographic data. Perturbed motion of one such meteor body is investigated by numerical integration of differential equations of motion on the electronic computer BESM-2, using Cowell's method of quadratures and taking account of perturbations from six planets (Venus–Uranus) and of high-order terms through to the 4th order. Over the time interval studied of 45 years the orbit of the Cyclids has been stable. Perturbing action of the Earth does not lead to any substantial changes in the elements of the orbits. Even at close approaches of the order of 0–003 AU the changes in the angular elements are not greater than about 1°.
