Abstract
THE ANNULAR ECLIPSE OF THE SUN, NOVEMBER 10, 1901. —In the Comptes rendus (vol. cxxxiii. p. 768) there is a communication from M. Janssen stating that he has received by telegram notice of the success of the expedition sent to Cairo to observe the recent annular solar eclipse. He had requested M. de la Baume Pluvinel to photograph the spectrum of the solar light grazing the moon's limb; this had been done, and the photographs showed no trace of any absorption which might suggest the presence of a lunar atmosphere. M. Pasteur had obtained large–scale photographs of the sun with granulations. The result of the expedition was therefore to be considered entirely successful.
