Abstract
THE accuracy of the measurements made at Kew Observatory may, without exaggeration, be regarded as a matter of national concern. It is right, therefore, that the scientific public should be made acquainted with the principles involved and the methods of comparison employed in any series of measurements conducted at the Observatory; more especially when a new departure is made, either in the apparatus used or in the nature of the observations.
