Abstract
WE have before us the Annual Reports of the Astronomers Royal for England and Scotland, to their respective Boards of Visitors. The Report of Sir G. B. Airy consists mainly of the usual statements under the various heads of the state of the buildings and instruments, the constitution of the staff, and the amount of work done. In all these respects the Observatory seems to be in a satisfactory condition. One important change in the staff during the past year has been the resignation of Mr. Glaisher, who has for so many years been connected with the Observatory, and which has rendered necessary a readjustment of the duties of the various observers.
