Abstract
M. DESLANDRES has now issued his report on the work accomplished by the French expedition to Fundium, Senegambia, for observations of the total solar eclipse of April 16, 1893. Some of the results obtained have already been made known, and these are now brought into connected order and discussed. A full account is also given of the general objects and organisation of the expedition. The programme decided upon included the photography of the corona, a photographic study of the coronal spectrum, especially in the ultra-violet, and a spectroscopic study of the movements of the corona.
