Abstract
SINCE last we reviewed M. Montigny's valuable researches on the scintillation of stars (vol. xviii. p. 292) he has again published some highly interesting details. The researches now in question refer specially to the changes of colour which characterise the scintillation of the red and orange stars. M. Montigny tried to solve the question whether the changes of colour in scintillation follow certain definite laws; whether, for instance, their relative frequency expressed in numbers, shows differences which depend on the nature of the star's own light, on the star's elevation above the horizon, or on the condition of the atmosphere.
