Observatory, was carefully adjusted before leaving England, and a 

 programme of exposures was drawn up based upon the experience of 

 ]893. As the station occupied lay at some distance from the central 

 line, this programme was reduced by Mr. Shackleton. 



Two of the photographs obtained are reproduced for the informa- 

 tion of other workers, as some time must elapse before the discussion 

 of all the results can be completed. This discussion and Mr. Shackle- 

 ton's report on the local arrangements and details of work, are 

 promised in a subsequent communication. 



The lines photographed in the " flash " at the commencement of 

 totality happily caught by Mr. Shackleton the wave-lengths of 

 which lines have been measured by Dr. W. J. S. Lockyer, show 

 interesting variations from those photographed by Mr. Fowler in the 

 cusp during the eclipse of 1893. ' 



With the exception of the lines visible in the spectra of hydrogen 

 and helium, and the longest lines of many of the metallic elements, 

 considerable differences of intensity from the lines of Fraunhofer 

 are noticeable. 



The coronal rings have been again photographed, and the results of 

 1893 have been confirmed.
