Abstract
THE British Eclipse Expedition in charge of Dr. Schuster sailed last Thursday in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Surat, for Galle and Singapore. Dr. Vogel, of Berlin, joins the expedition at Suez, and Dr. Janssen at Singapore. Prof. Tacchini, also a member of the expedition, is already at Calcutta. The Viceroy has chosen Camorta, in the Nicobars, and Mergui as observing stations. The English observers will proceed to Camorta, where, as Mr. Hind has already I stated in NATURE, totality lasts 4m. 27s. Before the accident to the Charybdis, that ship had been detailed by the Admiralty for the conveyance of the observers from Singapore to Siam. The Surat passed Gibraltar yesterday, all well.
