Abstract
THE OPPOSITION OF EROS IN 1931.-This opposition will be much the most favourable since Eros was discovered in 1898. Dr. Witt, who discovered the planet, has been engaged on the study of its perturbations up to 1931, and announces that he has now completed this work. The German observatories are now making arrangements for the careful observation of stars that lie near the planet's track, as they will be required as reference stars; they are also inviting co-operation in other countries.
