Abstract
THE story of an expedition to observe the total eclipse of the sun, seen under the most perfect atmospheric conditions, but which failed to achieve any results, is described by Mr. Evershed in the report before us. Mr. Evershed's programme was of a high-class order, and those who know him and his great ingenuity in the construction and manipulation of astronomical apparatus will share his regret at his extreme misfortune on this occasion.
