Abstract
THE ASTRONOMICAL DAY.—In a recent notice in this column of the Brussels Annuaire, it was stated, on the authority of the Annuaire, that the “Berliner Jahrbuch “for 1925 was not participating in the change of the commencement of the astronomical day from noon to midnight. Examination of next year's issue of the Jahrbuch shows that this statement is incorrect; that publication comes into line with all the other national ephemerides, which is a matter of congratulation, as a variety of usage in different countries would be a source of frequent errors. It is not too early to remind astronomers to make the change in any publications relating to next year's work. In a few cases it has been overlooked.
