Abstract
DURING the past few years the number of workers in the domain of solar physics has been so great, their progress so rapid, and the results of their labours have been published in so many forms, that it has been difficult to keep pace with them. Under these circumstances, a summary of these labours, which shall extract what is most valuable from all, and refer the reader to the original publications for the remainder, is a great desideratum.
