Abstract
THE centenary of the Pulkovo Observatory, one of the oldest scientific institutions in the U.S.S.R., will be marked by a special jubilee session of the Academy of Sciences to be held in Leningrad on December 25. The papers of a scientific and historical character to be read at the session will show in historic retrospect the century of endeavour of the Pulkovo Observatory and its role in world science. The centenary will also be marked by the issue of a comprehensive symposium and the opening of an exhibition dealing with the work at the Observatory.
