Abstract
THERE will be a total eclipse of the sun on February 13–14, which is invisible at Greenwich. The sun will rise eclipsed over Borneo, and the path of totality runs across the Pacific Ocean without crossing any land except a few very small islands. Oroluk Island, Losap Island and Wake Island lie on the path of totality. No British expedition has been organised to observe the eclipse from any of these small islands. In Borneo the eclipsed sun will, of course, be so low down that no useful spectroscopic observations can be made. The second solar eclipse which will take place in 1934 will be an annular eclipse on August 10, also invisible at Greenwich. The track crosses South Africa from Mossamedes to Inhambane.
