Are not Leonids at some 70 km/s, as fast as Orionids. That's why I thought they 
were streaking Leonids, plus having Leonid fever and also thought a few could 
be seen before midnight and a day or two before and after the peak.

     The difference in speed between the Leonids and Taurids ought to be
pretty obvious.  The Taurids are just about the slowest ones around anytime
of year, whereas the Leonids are medium speed (Orionids are really fast).
