Abstract
ABOUT a year ago Dr. Schellen kindly sent me two paper copies of the Java photograph, one of them was stated to be of the size of the original negative and the other was an enlargement of about ten and a half diameters, with a delicately soft outline and much detail in the corona. On comparing this with the Indian photographs I found that though the outline of the corona corresponded depression for depression with the two Indian series, yet there was great difference in the detail of the lower parts. The question therefore arose, Was such difference to be regarded as proof of enormous change in the corona in the course of about an hour, during the passage of the totality shadow from India to Java?
