Abstract

IN the first of these two books, dealing with our central luminary, the sun, the author presents his readers with a very well-arranged survey of the more modern views with respect to this important body. The author, who is one of the astronomers at the Meudon Observatory, is in a particularly good position to become acquainted with modern solar researches and opinions, and the solar work in progress at that observatory is second to none.
