similar to that which it carried out at Lakin, Kansas, during the echpse 

 of June 8, 191 8. Magnetographs were installed in a basement and con- 

 trol observations made in a tent nearby. These were operated for ap- 

 proximately twenty days. Atmospheric-electric observations were 

 made in an open field formerly used as a race-course. The climate 

 was dry and exceptionally good for observing atmospheric-electric 

 phenomena. The mornings were generally cloudy and the total 

 eclipse was witnessed through an opportune break in the clouds. The 

 corona was very bright and the prominence gave a distinct lurid tinge 

 to the light from it. Photographs of the eclipse were obtained with an 

 ordinar}^ kodak. 



All the papers of the evening were illustrated by lantern slides. 



Adjournment at 10.20 p.m. was followed by a social hour.
