Abstract
ECLIPSES IN FEBRUARY.—During the present month there will be an annular eclipse of the sun and a partial eclipse of the moon. The former will occur on February 13, but as the path of the annulus lies wholly in the South Atlantic and Antarctic. Oceans, it is of little interest. At the Cape of Good Hope it will be visible as a partial eclipse, magnitude 0˙849, the greatest phase occurring at 6h. 38m. Cape mean time, that is, sixteen minutes before sunset.
