Abstract
SIR GEORGE BADEN–POWELL did science a very important service when he conveyed a small party of observers to Novaya Zemlya to record the characteristics of the eclipse of August 9. Mr. Norman Lockyer points out in the Times that, thanks to this timely aid, the failures in Norway and Japan are much less disastrous than they otherwise would have been. He has received a code telegram from Mr. Shackleton, one of his assistants who accompanied Sir G. Baden-Powell, stating that results just short of the best possible have been obtained.
