Abstract
I.
THE Astrophysical Journal for February contains some papers of the highest interest, touching small variations in the wave-lengths of spectral lines and the causes which produce them. These are stated to have been, in the first instance, established by Mr. Jewell by an examination of the Rowland series of photographs of the solar and metallic spectra taken by means of a concave grating of 21½ feet radius and 20,000 lines to the inch—an instrument of research which, so far as my own experience goes, is not to be obtained by workers in this country.
