Abstract
OF late years astronomers have become increasingly! despairing as to what the stars are doing—in what direction they are evolving, how they produce the; energy they radiate, whether (and if so why) some of; them pulsate, how the stars are born and whether they! die. At the same time astronomers have becomes increasingly confident as to what the stars are really; like. It is proposed here to deal briefly with onej province of this less speculative side of astrophysics,? namely, that which is described, broadly speaking, as the subject of stellar temperatures and stellar spectra.
