Abstract
THE Astronomical Observatory of Prague, like many other similar institutions which might be mentioned, has its work considerably restricted by the fact that the city in which it is situated has grown. The restricted horizon, the smoke, and the glare of the illuminated air all have tended, year by year, to cut down the amount of useful work such an observatory is capable of doing, and it is quite possible that the time will soon come when it will be transferred to a site where its sphere of activity can be extended.
