Thursday , June 25. — Between 6.30 and 7.15 a. m. the seeing was 

 excellent in everj^ way, the image very clearly defined and almost 

 wholly free from blurring — steel plate effect. 



Between 9.30 a. m. and 12 m. the image was less satisfactory than 

 early in the morning. The limb of the sun was not so steady, and 

 blurring was more frequent and more pronounced. 



In the afternoon, between 4 and 5.45, the seeing was good, but 

 by no means equal to that which we had early in the morning. 

 Professors Campbell and Hale arrived at Wilson peak this after- 

 noon. Professor Hale rated the afternoon seeing at 4.

 less satisfactory. It was then fair and was given a rating of 3. 



During the middle portion of the day it was very warm. No ob-

 seeing was then excellent. Professor Hale rated it at 4. It con-
