Abstract
THE following telegrams have been received from the Eclipse Expedition since our last:—“MANGLORE, Wednesday, Dec. 6.— We have landed here from the flagship; all well. The Government arrangements are admirable. The weather is promising. The parties are posted as arranged.” From N. R. Pogson, at Avenashy, to the Astronomer Royal, Royal Observatory, Greenwich:—“Weather fine; telescopic and camera photographs successful; ditto polarisation; good sketches; many bright lines in spectrum.—Dec. 12.” From Colonel Tennant, F.R.S., Dodabeta, Ootacamund, to W. Huggins, F.R.S., Dec. 12, 9.15 A.M.:—“Thin mist. Spectroscope satisfactory, Reversion of lines entirely confirmed. Six good photographs.”
