I. " Note on the Spectrum of Nova Aurigae." By J. NORMAN 

 LOCKYER, F.R.S. Received February 8, 1892. 



Since the observations of Wednesday (Feb. 3), recorded in a pre- 

 liminary note, the weather precluded any further work till last night 

 (Feb. 7). Two more photographs were taken and eye observations 

 made. 



The photographs, though exposed for a shorter time, gave many 

 more lines than the long- exposed one on Wednesday. 



The bright lines at K, H, h, and Gr are accompanied by dark lines 

 on their more refrangible sides. 



Addendum. Received February 11. 



Eye Observations. 



On account of continued bad weather, no further photographs or 

 observations of the Nova have been obtained since February 7. It
