Abstract
RADIAL VELOCITY OF 915 STARS.—Prof. Campbell publishes in Lick Observatory Bulletin, No. 229, a further valuable contribution to the radial velocities of stars secured with the Mills spectrographs attached to the 36-in. refractor at Mount Hamilton, and with the instruments of the D. O. Mills Expedition at Santiago, Chile. Prof. Campbell states that the results for those brighter stars of classes F, G, K, and M, of which the radial velocities appear to be substantially constant, or the approximate systemic velocities may be estimated, including proper-motion and other auxiliary data, relating to nearly 900 stars, have existed in manuscript form ready for the printer for more than a year. It was proposed to issue them in the form as previously published for the stars classes B and A, but want of funds made such a scheme impossible. Even now the necessary means are not forthcoming, so, to avoid further delay, he publishes them in the briefest form in the present bulletin.
