The Southern Delta Aquarid meteor shower which is believed to be of relatively recent origin because of its compact photographic radiant, is also possibly associated with the Arietid meteor shower (Kresak and Porubcan 1970). Williams, Murray and Hughes (1979) have studied the orbit of the Quantrantid stream and it is interesting to note that the orbital parameters of that shower approximately 1500 years ago were similar to the orbit of the present day Delta Aquarids.
