adjustment, owing to a recent accident, I submit it to the Society 

 because there appears to be evidence of bright lines in the photograph. 

 It is altogether too early to announce this as an established fact y 

 but I think it well to send in this note, in order that other observers 

 with more powerful optical appliances and a better climate than that 

 of London may investigate the question. 



The photograph exhibited was taken on the 2nd instant by 

 Mr. Porter, Computer to the Solar Physics Committee. The instru- 

 ment employed was the 10-inch equatorial of the Science Schools^ 

 and a spectroscope of two prisms of 60. 



Other considerations point to the possibility that bright lines or 

 bands may be found in the spectrum of Uranus.
