The scope of this Report is to cover briefly the progress in the study of meteors and meteorites since the 1938 meeting of Commission 22. The Sub-Commission on the Zodiacal Light has been expanded to include also the Light of the Night Sky and is now presided over by M. Jean Dufay. The ever-increasing scientific interest in the problems of nocturnal radiations and the fascinating difficulties of interpretation promise an exciting future for research in these two observationally related fields. On the other hand, the present intensive interest in the earth’s upper atmosphere and in ionospheric research makes interpretation in any one field of research in Commission 22 even more dependent upon knowledge of results in the other fields. Hence it appears essential that Commission 22 and its sub-commission keep in close rapport and that a considerable overlapping of membership be maintained.
