Consideration is given for 26 streams of meteors classified according to Ceplecha's discrete levels of beginning height, 13 of which are associated with known comets. Comet Biela produced in the Andromedids a double-peaked distribution (Classes A and C). Apparently no known comets produce a stream of Class B. Consideration of Whipple and Stefanik's model of an icy conglomerate nucleus with radioactive heating and redistribution of ice leads to association of Ceplecha's Class C with the residue of the ice-impregnated surface of a cometary nucleus after sublimation of the ices, and of Ceplecha's Class A with the core of a cometary nucleus. Class B meteoroids are then associated with less dense cores of smaller cometary nuclei that have lost their surfaces and are too small to have been observed. It is concluded that the density of Class A meteoroids (1.2 g/cu cm) is so close to that of Type 1 carbonaceous chondrites (2 g/cu cm) as to suggest that the latter come from old cores of very large nuclei of comets, an idea originally proposed by McCrosky and Ceplecha.
