Abstract
From radar observations carried out during 1967–1968 a catalogue of 20 000 orbits was obtained. A method has been developed for identifying meteor streams and associations, and the orbits of the meteors recorded during January-April 1968 have been analysed. Among them 163 streams have been identified, and these contain 33.5% of the total number of orbits. Comparison with the orbits of the short-period comets of q < 1.1 AU shows considerable differences.
