814 Mr. W. E. M. Christie on the Becent Eclipse. [April 22, 



Mr. Evershed at Talni also obtained fine photographs of the spec- 

 trum of the chromosphere and corona with a smaller prismatic 

 camera. 



III. Polariscopic Observations. 



Professor Turner at Sahdol obtained photographs showing radial 

 polarisation in the coronal streamers, his object being to determine 

 how much of the light of the corona is polarised radially, and conse- 

 quently due to reflected sunlight. 



Mr. Newall made eye observations which indicated strong polari- 

 sation of the atmosphere at all points within 30° of the sun, the plane 

 of polarisation being not vertical. 



IV. 



Photographs of the partial phase for determination of the position 

 of the moon were taken by me at Sahdol, the longitude and local time 

 being accurately determined by Major Burrard, E.E., and Lieut. 

 Crosthwaite, R.E., of the Indian Survey Department. 



V. Miscellaneous. 



A number of drawings of the corona were made by observers at 

 the various stations occupied, but their value would have been much 

 greater if the observers had worked with a stump to represent the 

 gradations of light in the corona, instead of attempting to draw with 

 a pencil an outline of the corona, which has essentially no defined 

 boundary.
