Data on 240,000 meteor echoes recorded in 1958-1967 with the Springhill Meteor Radar, have been used for determining the structural features of the Eta Aquarid stream. A zone with a distinct enhancement in meteor rates was located at solar longitudes of 43° to 47°. The core of the stream, corresponding to the four peak days, extends from the orbit of the comet to a distance of 0.08 A.U. Other observations, from both hemispheres, support these results.
