Abstract
A STUDY OF STELLAR MOTIONS.—The Scientific Monthly for November contains an interesting analysis of stellar velocities by Dr. Gustaf Strömberg. He forms velocity surfaces for different groups of stars by imagining the bodies forming a group to start from a common point at the same instant; then after moving each with their proper speed for the selected unit of time, the curve or surface drawn through them gives a graphic representation of the velocity distribution.
