Abstract
THE expedition of Lord Lindsay for observation of the Transit of Venus at Mauritius (why will people still call it the Mauritius?) will afford a good opportunity for re-measuring the base line of Abbé de la Caille, made in 1753, and which, to the best of my belief, has never been since verified.
